Delhi:
Flood fears in Delhi abated to some extent as the Yamuna started receding by the hour, though it is still flowing above the danger mark.
However, a new cause for worry is the incessant rain that's lashing the Capital. Heavy rains led to waterlogging and slowed down traffic in some areas.
As per the Meteorological Department, the downpour is likely to continue throughout the day.
On Saturday evening, the water level had risen as more water was released from Hathanikund barrage in Haryana.
The rising Yamuna flooded several parts of theCapital on Saturday as the water level climbed two metres above the danger mark,threatening to submerge more low-lying areas.
The Yamuna flood has also affected several trains. Rail traffic has come to a halt over the Old Yamuna Bridge affecting the arrival and departure of trains from the Delhi Junction.
According to a Railways spokesperson, 23 trains have been cancelled and 37 trains have been diverted.
The Railways has also changed the origin destination of 42 trains in order to avoid further congestion.
