The water level is expected to rise further in the coming days, as heavy rains are forecast in the region. The Delhi government has issued an alert and asked people living in low-lying areas to be prepared to evacuate.


The Yamuna River is a major source of water for Delhi, and its flooding can have a significant impact on the city. In 2013, the Yamuna River flooded Delhi, causing widespread damage. The government has taken some measures to prevent flooding, such as building a flood wall along the river. However, more needs to be done to protect the city from the threat of flooding.


The people of Delhi also need to be aware of the dangers of flooding and take steps to protect themselves. They should stay informed about the weather forecast and be prepared to evacuate if necessary. They should also avoid building homes in low-lying areas that are prone to flooding.
