The Yamuna River in Delhi has breached its warning level, measured at 204.60 meters at the Old Railway Bridge, as reported by local officials on Sunday.
The established warning mark for the region stands at 204.50 meters, with a danger level at 205.33 meters, escalating to potential evacuations at 206 meters. The Old Railway Bridge is a crucial monitoring site for the river's flow and looming flood threats.
Authorities are actively observing the situation, and relevant agencies have been instructed to enforce precautionary measures against potential flooding. The water level continues to rise, due largely to substantial discharges from the Wazirabad and Hathnikund barrages, which are releasing significant volumes of water every hour.
