The swollen Yamuna continued to flow above the danger mark of 205.33 metres in Delhi on Saturday morning and efforts to evacuate people from vulnerable areas are being intensified, officials said.
The flood control room said the water level reached 205.99 metres at 5 a.m.. The river had breached the danger mark of 205.33 metres around 4 p.m. on Friday following heavy rain in upper catchment areas, prompting authorities to evacuate people from low-lying areas.
A forecast said the water level is likely to touch the 206-metre mark around 5 p.m. and remain stable thereafter.
