Hyderabad: On Sunday morning, the water level of the Yamuna River dropped slightly to 206.02 meters, but the waterlogging situation in many places has not improved.
The water level was 206.87m at about 8pm on Saturday night. Despite the falling water levels, large swaths of the hard-hit capital’s north, southeast, northeast and central regions are still under water. Traffic has also been severely affected.
Intermittent downpours in the national capital since Saturday night have created fresh troubles for Delhiites. Delhi Minister Atish said on Saturday that there was another heavy rainfall in Delhi tonight, and the streets were flooded.
She mentioned that it will take some time for the water to recede as the water levels in the gutters and the Yamuna River are still high.
“It is not easy to pump water from the gutters and the Yamuna now because they are flooded.
All ministers from the Arvind Kejriwal government will be present tomorrow morning to ensure that all issues related to rainfall and flooding are resolved. ’” Atishi tweeted.
The Kejriwal government said it had rescued a total of 25,823 people as of Saturday night, 23,451 of them living in camps.
The Yamuna River broke a 45-year-old record on Thursday (July 13) when it reached its highest water level of 208.65 metres.
On Friday, the water level was 208.35 metres. Flooding flooded many low-lying areas and flooded many roads.
