The Central Water

feet. The MCD says that due to the flood-like conditions, ten schools in
low-lying parts of Delhi’s Civil Lines zone and seven schools in Shahadra will
be closed today.

Because it has been
raining a lot and the Hathnikund Barrage is letting water out, the water level
in the river Yamuna keeps going up. This is causing floods and waterlogging in
many parts of the city.
In the last few days,
the Yamuna’s water level has risen quickly in Delhi. It went from 203.14 metres
on Sunday at 11 a.m. to 205.4 metres on Monday at 5 p.m., which is 18 hours
faster than predicted. The danger point is 205.33 metres away.
As a precaution, the
Delhi police have also implemented section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code
in flood-prone areas. According to the Delhi government’s evacuation plan, a
total of 16,564 individuals from low-lying areas have been relocated to safer
areas, and 14,534 are currently living in tents/shelters throughout the city.

excess reaches low-lying areas. Kashmiri Gate, ITO.
