The police on Saturday arrested two of the six people charged for allegedly cooking non-veg and smoking hookah on a boat at Sangam, the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati river, officials said.

A case has been filed against eight people in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj over a viral video that showed a "hookah party" taking place on a boat near 'Sangam' or the confluence of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has shown its displeasure with the authoritiesfor not maintaining the cleanliness of Yamuna river in spite of the clear roadmap and directions of the Tribunal.

The Delhi government's pollution control body has asked district magistrates to ensure idols are not immersed in the Yamuna or any other water body in the national capital during this year's Ganeshotva and Durga puja.

Five people, including two minors, drowned in the Yamuna river under the DND (Delhi Noida Direct) flyover during the immersion of the Lord Krishna idol on Sunday, police said.

A man was arrested after he allegedly pushed his wife from the Yamuna river bridge in Bateshwar in Bah block in Agra, Police said Saturday.

The swollen Yamuna river continued to flow above the danger mark of 205.33 metres in Delhi this morning and efforts have intensified to evacuate people from vulnerable areas, officials said.

The water level of the Yamuna river breached the danger mark of 205.33 metres in Delhi following heavy rain in upper catchment areas, prompting authorities to chalk out a strategy to evacuate people from low-lying areas.

The Yamuna is flowing precariously close to the warning level of 204.5 metres in Delhi following heavy rain in upper catchment areas, and its water level is likely to breach the danger mark on Saturday morning, authorities said.

The bodies of three youths, who had drowned in the Yamuna river in north Delhi's Burari, were retrieved on Friday morning, police said.

At first glance, this video of white foam floating on the surface of the Yamuna River in Delhi's ITO area appears almost peaceful.

The water supply situation in the national capital has deteriorated further as the Wazirabad pond level has now dropped to 668.3 feet, the lowest this year, against the normal of 674.5 feet, officials said on Saturday.

Due to an intense heatwave and Haryana releasing less water in the Yamuna river, the water levels have dropped which may cause a drinking water problem in Delhi as Yamuna almost dries up, the Delhi Jal Board said.

The Delhi government has sent an SOS to Haryana, the third time in two weeks, urging it to release additional water in the Yamuna river to prevent a water crisis in the national capital.

Delhi is staring at a water crisis amid the rising heat, with the water levels at the Wazirabad pond depleting alarmingly due to acute shortage in water flow in the Yamuna river, officials said.
