★The Yamuna River in Delhi has started rising again after receding for three consecutive days.
★The water level is currently close to the 206-meter mark at the old railway bridge.
★The increase in water level is attributed to local factors, such as rain in the plains.
★The Central Water Commission states that the rise in water level is temporary and is likely to start receding again.
★The release of water from the Hathnikund barrage has had minimal impact on the water level.
★The city’s drainage, which was flowing in reverse during the high spate, has returned to the Yamuna, contributing to the marginal increase in water level.
★The Yamuna River in Delhi has seen a rise in water level after receding for three days. It reached the all-time high of 208.66 meters but has now stabilized close to the 206-meter mark at the old railway bridge.
★The Central Water Commission attributes this increase to local factors, primarily rain in the plains. It states that the discharge of water from the Hathnikund barrage has had minimal impact on the water level.
★The water level is expected to start receding again from Monday night. The increase in water level is temporary and is due to recent rainfall in Delhi, Haryana, and West Uttar Pradesh.
★The release of water from the Hathnikund barrage has been fluctuating between 38,000-48,000 cusecs, which is considered normal during the monsoon season. However, it increased to 60,000 cusecs on Sunday before decreasing again due to the absence of intense rainfall in the hills.
★The meteorological department has issued a yellow alert for Himachal Pradesh and predicted heavy rain in sporadic locations on Tuesday. An orange alert has been issued for Uttarakhand, while Delhi has been issued a yellow alert with a prediction of moderate rainfall.
★Officials state that if Himachal Pradesh receives heavy rains, more water is likely to flow into the Yamuna, resulting in an increase in discharge from the Hathnikund barrage. This may have an impact on Delhi in the next few days.
★Revenue minister Atishi has advised people staying in relief camps not to return to their homes in the floodplains yet. She assures that there is no immediate danger for the people of Delhi, but it is better to wait until the water level comes below the danger mark.
★The situation will continue to be monitored closely, and updates will be provided as necessary.
