On the 27th of September, Tuesday, the concerned authorities in Delhi, started evacuating people living in the low-lying areas near the Yamuna banks.
According to sources, with the water level in the river rising to 206.18 metres, much above the danger mark of 205.33 metres, the Yamuna river bank is said to be in danger, amid rains. Furthermore, this is the highest this year so far, following incessant rains in the upper catchment areas.
East Delhi District Magistrate Anil Banka said an evacuation alert was issued on Tuesday morning after the water level crosses the 206-metre mark. “People living in low-lying areas near the riverbanks are being evacuated and shifted to higher grounds. Arrangements have been made for their stay at government schools and night shelters in nearby areas,” said Anil Banka.
Furthermore, the Delhi authorities asked the people residing in low lying areas near Yamuna Bank to be alert amid danger mark.
