Delhi on high alert as Yamuna nears danger mark, flood preparations intensify

Delhi is on high alert as the Yamuna River’s water level rises due to a significant water release from Haryana’s Hathnikund barrage, reaching over 3.22 lakh cusecs. Authorities are evacuating people from low-lying areas and closing the Old Railway Bridge as the water level approaches the danger mark, raising concerns of potential flooding similar to the devastating 2023 event.
