In a surprising turn of events,
the water level of the Yamuna River has shown signs of stability over the past
three hours after consistently rising for four consecutive days. The
stabilization of the water level has come as a relief to the residents of
Delhi, who were bracing themselves for potential flooding due to the incessant
rainfall in the region.
The Yamuna River, which flows through
the northern states of India, notorious for its fluctuating water levels during
the monsoon season. Heavy rainfall in the catchment areas and the release of
water from upstream reservoirs often result in a rapid increase in water
levels, leading to flooding in low-lying areas along the riverbanks.
However, over the past four days, the water level of the Yamuna had been steadily rising at an alarming rate, causing concern among authorities and residents alike. The continuous rise had raised fears of a potential flood situation in several parts of Delhi, leading to increased preparedness measures by the government.
Officials from the Yamuna River
Development Authority (YRDA) and the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA)
were actively monitoring the situation and coordinating with relevant agencies
to ensure the safety of the citizens. Evacuation plans were put in place and
relief centers were established in case of any emergency situations.
All Schools, Colleges, and non-essential government agencies must be closed through Sunday, according to an order from the Delhi government. Due to the rise in river water levels, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has temporarily closed the entry and exit at the Yamuna Bank metro station on the Blue Line.
However, the metro organization
claimed that the interchange infrastructure is open and that Blue Line services
were running as usual. The Delhi government, in collaboration with the
concerned departments, continues to monitor the situation closely. They have
advised residents living in low-lying areas and near the riverbanks to remain
vigilant and follow instructions from authorities.
As the weather situation evolves, authorities will remain
on high alert to ensure the safety and well-being of the citizens, taking all
necessary measures to mitigate the risks associated with the unpredicted
behavior of the Yamuna River during the monsoon season.
