Yamuna water level receding in Delhi, but crisis continues

The raging Yamuna showed signs of calming on Saturday as the flow of the river at the Old Railway Bridge gradually receded. The water level of the Yamuna river was recorded at 207.62 meters -- still above the danger level -- despite the water level receding. At 9 am, the water level of Yamuna was recorded at 207.53 meters. After breaching the 45-year-old record three days ago, water levels in the Yamuna in Delhi came down to 207.62 metres at 7 am on Saturday. The water level of Yamuna was recorded at 207.98 metres at 11 pm on Friday. As the Yamuna water level reduced, the Okhla water treatment plant, which was shut on Thursday, was opened. The Yamuna river continued to overflow and due to this, nearby areas and key roads remain affected due to waterlogging in Delhi.
