The Yamuna River flows in full quantities above a dangerous brand of 205.33 meters, causing floods in several low -laid areas in Delhi. Flood waters entered ISBT Kashmere Gate, Delhi Secretariat, Civil Lines, Monastery Market and Bhola Ghat in Kalindi Kunj, after continuous rainfall in the upper few days in the upper basin and the capital.
Delhi’s oldest and busiest cremation ground, Nigambod Ghat, is closed after the National City has been included in the flood warning. Vasudev Ghat visuals, the Swami Narayan temple in civil lines, the monastery market and several other places show that roads and streets submerged in water for floods.
This caused heavy traffic jams near ISBT Kashmere Gate, which caused the traffic police in Delhi to release travel counseling for motorists to avoid affected routes.
Despite a slight decrease in water level 5 September, the sacred river continues to flow above the level of danger. On Friday at 8:00 in the morning, the water level in the Yamuna River stood in the old Delhi railway bridge 207.31 meters, which retreated from 207.35 meters in 2 hours. According to officials, the water will probably continue to retreat during the day.
The growing water level of the Yamuna Greek seriously affected the movement of traffic on the outer circular road, from Chandgiram Akhara to Hanuman Mandir.
