Delhi CM Assures Residents: No Flood Threat Amid Rising Yamuna Waters

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta made a significant visit to Yamuna Bazar on Tuesday, emphasizing the government's preparedness in the face of rising water levels. She reassured the residents that while the water level had peaked earlier, it is now receding, eliminating any immediate flood threat in the area.

Accompanied by senior flood management officials, Gupta's visit was marked by her barefoot walk through the affected regions, a symbolic gesture to connect with locals and assure them of the government's support. Her visit aimed to review the flood management systems and assure the public that emergency measures are in place.

Throughout her on-site inspection, the chief minister interacted with residents, expressing the government's readiness to relocate families temporarily if necessary. Gupta reiterated that Delhi remains in a safe zone, with any inundation confined to the low-lying floodplains and not expected to affect the broader city.
