Delhi, 14 July (Press Ki Taquat)- Delhi Jal Board vice chairman Somnath Bharti will shortly addressed a press conference and is likely to show a video of water release from Haryana’s Hathnikund Barrage that has “caused flood-like situation in Delhi”. Earlier in the day, AAP minister Atishi had said that the water released by Haryana was partially responsible for increasing water levels in Yamuna river. Some more areas in Delhi were submerged on Friday as the water level at Old Delhi Yamuna Bridge was recorded at 208.46 metres at 6 am.
Top government sources told News18 that by 10pm last night, 15 NDRF teams were deployed in Delhi, of which four teams each have been stationed in central Delhi, south-east Delhi and east Delhi, while three have been deployed in north-east Delhi and one in Shahadra. So far, 3.362 people have been rescued along with 54 animals.
