The Yamuna river level in Delhi has breached all records, reaching an all-time high of 207.55 metres on Wednesday. This is the highest level the river has reached since 1978, when it caused devastating floods in the national capital.
The water level is expected to recede slowly, but the authorities have imposed Section 144 in flood-prone areas of Delhi to prevent people from entering the river. They have also evacuated thousands of people from low-lying areas.

The Delhi government has set up control rooms in all districts to monitor the situation. They have also deployed teams of NDRF and SDRF personnel to assist in the rescue and relief operations.
