Delhi's chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said that flood water is now receding gradually from the Indian capital; however, the threat of flooding is not yet over.
In a tweet, Kejriwal warned people against going to flooded areas, as it could be fatal as the speed of the water is fast and can rise at any time.
Sharing a video of children playing in the flood water of the Shanti Van area, Kejriwal urged everyone to avoid such activities.
Kejriwal's appeal came after three children aged 10-13 years died on Friday while they were playing and swimming in flood water.
Meanwhile, India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted further showers for the national capital over the next 4-5 days and a yellow alert for Saturday. A 'yellow' alert indicates bad weather conditions, which might worsen, disrupting daily activities.
On Saturday at 7 am, Yamuna’s water level reached 207.62 meters, down from its peak of 208.66 meters at 8 pm on Thursday. However, the level remains over the 205.33-meter danger mark.
