Due to heavy rainfall and the release of water from Hathni Kund Barrage, there is an increased risk of flooding in low-lying areas near the Yamuna river in Delhi and its neighboring regions. In response to this situation, the Delhi Police has implemented restrictions under CrPC section 144 in the vulnerable areas to ensure safety.
The water level of the Yamuna river in Delhi has exceeded the previous all-time record set 45 years ago, reaching a height of 207.55 meters. Experts attribute this critical situation to various factors, including encroachments on the river’s floodplains, intense rainfall occurring within a short period, and the accumulation of silt, which has elevated the riverbed. As a result, areas near the floodplains have experienced significant flooding, leading to the evacuation of thousands of residents and businesses.
Homes and markets located close to the river have been inundated as the water surged into these areas. This unprecedented situation highlights the urgent need for effective measures to manage floodplains, address the impact of extreme weather events, and mitigate the risks associated with silt accumulation.
