Yamuna Breaches Warning Levels: Delhi Braces for Floods
The Yamuna River in Delhi continues its relentless rise, reaching a critical 204.14 meters on August 3, 2025. This brings the river dangerously close to the 204.5-meter warning level, triggering heightened anxiety among authorities and residents.
Officials are closely monitoring the situation, deploying resources to prepare for potential evacuations. Heavy rainfall in upstream regions is cited as the primary cause of the swelling river.
If the water level crosses the danger mark, low-lying areas are expected to face severe flooding. Authorities are making preparations to ensure a swift and organised evacuation if necessary.
The rising water levels underscore the urgent need for robust flood management infrastructure in Delhi. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerability of the city to extreme weather events, highlighting the need for proactive measures to protect citizens and property.
