Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said that his government was in constant touch with the CWC. "According to experts, there will not be any flood-like situations. However, we are prepared if it does happen. If the water level rises to 206 meters, we will initiate evacuation. We have identified 41,000 people living in the nearby areas of the Yamuna riverbank, and we have established relief camps for them," Kejriwal had said.
Among other places, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday cancelled his meetings and directed officials to take stock of the situation arising from heavy spells of rain and rising water levels in Ghaggar and Yamuna rivers. Hundreds of villages in Yamunanagar and Karnal districts were worst affected with the release of excess water from the Hathnikund barrage, admitted officials.
