Yamuna Nears Warning Level In Delhi, Rivers Breach Danger Mark Across UP

The water level of the Yamuna River in Delhi has reached 204.14 metres, drawing close to the warning level of 204.5 metres. With consistent rainfall in the upper catchment areas of Haryana and Uttarakhand, authorities are on alert as the river shows signs of steady rise. While the current level is still below the danger mark of 205.33 metres, officials from the Irrigation and Flood Control Department are monitoring the situation around the clock. The highest flood level ever recorded in the capital was 208.66 metres in July 2023, which led to widespread inundation across several low-lying areas of Delhi, including Yamuna Bazar, Rajghat, and Civil Lines.
