The Yamuna River's water level has begun to recede in Delhi, providing hope for relief even as many areas remain submerged. The city government is maintaining a round-the-clock vigil, assuring citizens that the situation will normalize soon.
Water levels were recorded at 207.05 meters on Friday evening, a slight decrease from the season's peak. The Central Water Commission predicts a continued decline in the river's water level throughout Saturday.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta emphasized the government's dedication to supporting affected citizens, as relief camps distribute necessities and officials inspect flood-hit regions. Reduced water output at the Wazirabad Water Treatment Plant has led to supply challenges, further complicated by health issues in the camps.
