Water Level at Old Yamuna Bridge Decreases
The water level at the Old Yamuna Bridge was 205.56 meters at 8pm, down over 3m from its peak of 208.66m on July 13.
“The level is likely to fall below the danger mark of 205.33 early on Monday,” said a central water commission official.
Though water released from the Hathnikund barrage increased slightly on Sunday afternoon, officials said it may not have much impact unless there are very heavy rains in the hills.
Efforts to Clear Waterlogged Pockets
While government agencies worked hard to clear waterlogged pockets and make roads motorable again a day before the new week, the receding waters have left mounds of silt, along with stench and the possibility of infection.
Lack of drinking water and food has emerged as the new threat for people returning to their homes.
