The Yamuna River in Delhi has breached its danger level by reaching 205.36 metres at the Old Railway Bridge by 2 pm on Monday, according to officials.
This crossing of the danger mark follows days above the warning level of 204.50 metres, with evacuation plans set into motion at 206 metres to safeguard communities.
Continuous water discharge from the Wazirabad and Hathnikund barrages is significantly contributing to the rising water levels, with forecasts indicating further increases over the coming days.
