Delhi: Yamuna -River violates warning level, advice issued

In the midst of the incessant rain in the northern regions of India, the Yamuna River in New -Delhi crossed the warning level and reached the point of 204.60 meters at 19:00 on Sunday at the Old Railway Bridge, PTI cited on Sunday. The report added that the warning mark for the city is 204.50 meters, while the danger mark is 205.33 meters, and the evacuation of people starts at 206 meters. According to the details, the old railway bridge serves as an important point of view to detect the river’s flow and possible flood risks. In response to the situation, officials said they were monitoring it and that all the agencies were asked to take precautions to handle floods like the situation, as the level would rise according to the prediction. “In light of the amount of water released today, August 17, and heavy rainfall in the Upper Yamuna area, it is informed that the water level can cross at Delhi Railway Bridge 206,00 at about 02 hours on August 19, 2025,” the consulting department of flood control said. “The reason for the increase in level is usually due to the large amount of water released from the Wazirabad and Hathnikund pigs every hour,” said an official of the central flood room. According to the Department of Flood Control, the Hathnikund carfare releases about 127,030 Cuseecs water, the highest this season, and Wazirabad releases 45.620 Cuseecs water every hour. Typically, the water released from the pigs takes 48 to 50 hours to reach Delhi. But lower upstream discharges increase the water level and closer to the warning mark in Delhi. Officials said the water level reached the point of 204.65 meters on Friday at 13:00 and Saturday 205.11 meters. With agency input.
