New Delhi: The water level of Yamuna is receding in the national capital Delhi and the flood situation is improving. In view of this, the Delhi government has directed to remove the ban on the entry of heavy vehicles in the capital. After decreasing till Sunday night, the water level of Yamuna in Delhi started rising from Monday morning, but from Tuesday the water level started decreasing again. However, the river is currently flowing above the danger mark.
The water level of three Yamuna in Delhi was recorded at 205.46 meters on Tuesday afternoon, which is still 0.13 meters above the danger mark (205.33 metres).
The ban imposed on these heavy vehicles will be withdrawn from July 19 and heavy vehicles will be able to enter Delhi as before. According to the information received, after the increased water level in Yamuna, heavy vehicles were banned in view of security. Under this, the bus service from Delhi’s Interstate Bus Terminal was also stopped.
People traveling by bus had to depend on other services including rail. After the commencement of the bus service, people traveling from Delhi to other states will get great relief. Apart from this, the arrival of other non-essential items will also increase due to which the temporary increase in their prices will come down.
The work of opening the gate of ITO barrage continues
The work of opening the remaining three gates of the ITO barrage continued on Tuesday as well. Officials told that Haryana government, Navy engineers and others are trying to open this closed gate together. Officials told that it would be easy to open these gates after the water level in Yamuna recedes.
Right now the team is facing problems due to the fast flow of water. We are expecting that the speed with which the water level of Yamuna is falling, if the pace continues like this further, Yamuna may soon reach normal level. Tell that out of the five closed gates of the barrage, two gates have been opened, while efforts are being made to open the other gate.
