Monsoon 2020 news: The water level of the Yamuna river in Delhi rose to over 204 meter Friday morning, precariously close to the warning mark of 204.50 meter, officials said. "The water level was recorded at 204.30 meter at the Old Railway Bridge at 9 am," an official of the irrigation and flood control department said.

The Yamuna River was flowing close to the warning mark in Delhi Wednesday morning and is likely to swell further. More water is being released into Yamuna from the Hathnikund Barrage in Haryana, officials said.

Traffic movement on Old Yamuna Bridge in Delhi was closed today with the water level in the river continuing to rise due to rains, a day after the flow breached the danger mark, officials said.

Yamuna is overflowing its banks because of the very heavy rains in the area over the last couple of days.

With flood water in Yamuna entering various low-lying areas due to continuous rains, Delhi government has begun evacuating people residing in these localities.
