New Delhi : The water level of the Yamuna River in Delhi was recorded at 206.01 metres on Monday at 11 pm, marking a rise from the previously declining water level. Earlier in the day, the river had crossed 205.48 metres, slightly surpassing the danger mark of 205.33 metres, while parts of the national capital continued to experience waterlogging.


According to the Central Water Commission , the water level, which had breached the danger mark and caused extensive flooding in Delhi, was measured at 205.48 metres at 7 am on Monday, down from 206.02 metres at 8 am on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Atishi , a minister in Delhi, advised residents of the relief camps not to return to their flood-affected homes due to a ‘slight rise’ in the water level of the Yamuna River following rainfall in certain areas of Haryana the previous day.


Taking into account the decrease in the water level of the Yamuna, the Transport Department of the Delhi Government has eased some travel restrictions. Heavy goods vehicles will now only be restricted from entering Delhi through the Singhu border.

Additionally, an order from the Transport Department of the Delhi government states that interstate buses travelling from Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Uttarakhand to Delhi's ISBT Kashmiri Gate will only be allowed to reach the Singhu border.


Previously, an order issued on July 13 restricted the entry of heavy vehicles into Delhi from the Singhu border, Badarpur border, Loni border and Chilla border due to waterlogging. However, heavy vehicles transporting food items and essentials were exempt from this restriction.
