After surpassing the previous record of 207.49 meters at 1 p.m., the Yamuna reached 207.72 meters by 4 p.m., according to a representative of the Central Water Commission.

Kejriwal stated in a tweet that the water level in the Yamuna is rising despite “no rains in Delhi” over the past two days due to “abnormally high volumes of water being released by Haryana at the Hathna Kund barrage.” The chief minister requested intervention from the federal government to prevent the Yamuna’s water level from rising further.

“The Central Water Commission predicts a Yamuna water level of 207.72 meters tonight,” Not favorable news for Delhi, tweeted Kejriwal.

“There have been no rains in Delhi over the past two days, but the Yamuna is rising owing to the release of abnormally large volumes of water by Haryana at the Hathna Kund barrage. “I urge the Centre to intervene and prevent the Yamuna from rising further,” he added.

Later, at a press conference, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief stated that Union Minister Gajendra Shekhawat informed him that the amount of water being discharged from Himachal Pradesh to Haryana has decreased, which will have an effect on the Yamuna’s water level.

However, he stated that it will take some time for the river’s water level to decrease.

The elevation of the Yamuna

The last time the Yamuna attained its highest water level was in 1978, when it surpassed 207.49 meters. Current Yamuna water level is 207.55 meters.

According to the Central Water Commission’s (CWC) flood-monitoring portal, the water level at the Old Railway Bridge surpassed 207 meters for the first time since 2013 at 4 a.m., and reached 207.55 meters by 1 p.m., shattering the 1978 record.

The river is expected to ascend to 207.72 feet and then remain stable, according to a CVC forecast.

On Monday night, the river surpassed the evacuation threshold of 206 metres, prompting the relocation of residents from flood-prone areas to safer locations and the closure of the Old Railway Bridge to vehicular and rail traffic.
