STORYLINE:
Amid incessant rains during the ongoing Monsoon season, the Yamuna river is flowing above the danger mark in the Indian capital, thereby posing a risk for those living in the nearby residential and low-lying areas, a Delhi government official said on Monday.
"The water level in river Yamuna crosses the danger mark touching 205.4 meters at Old Railway Bridge," said the official. The danger mark is 204.5 meters.
One of the main reasons for rise in water-level of the Yamuna river was the release of nearly 100,000 cusecs of water from the Hathni Kund barrage located in the neighboring state of Haryana, said government sources in Delhi.
Regular announcements were being made to the people living in the immediate vicinity of the river directin
