New Delhi: The Yamuna River continues to flow over the danger mark in the National capital, recording a water level of 205.34 m at 10 a.m. on Saturday, according to the Central Water Commission (CWC).
Most of the people living in nearby areas of the Yamuna continue to live in relief camps in view of the flood-like situation.
One of the main reasons for the rise is being attributed to Friday night's heavy rainfall, the CWC said.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and East Rajasthan are likely to experience
light to moderate to widespread rainfall.
Notably, the Yamuna broke a 45-year-old record and reached its highest level at 208.65 meters on July 13, submerging several low-lying areas and flooding the roads.
Last Friday, it was flowing at 208.35 meters.
With the flood situation improving, the traffic is back on roads near the river and water has receded in waterlogged areas.
But in the wake of rising water levels, the people and the concerned authorities have been put on alert.
