In less than 12 hours, the water level of the Yamuna River in Delhi surpassed the danger mark once again on Wednesday morning, reaching an alarming height of 205.48 metres.
Due to the continuous downpours in the hilly areas of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Delhi, NCR, the water level of the Yamuna increased again and crossed the danger threshold.
According to the Central Water Commission's data, the water level is expected to rise to 205.72 metres by 6 p.m.
On July 13, the Yamuna broke a 45-year-old record and reached a new high of 208.65 metres.
Due to frequent rainfall in Delhi over the past few days, several low-lying areas remain submerged, and excessive waterlogging has resulted in severe flooding of several roads including Civil Lines, Rajghat, ITO, and others.
People living in the low-lying areas were forced to take shelter in relief camps after their homes were flooded.
