Hathnikund Barrage Releases Water, Yamuna River Rises Gradually

Hathnikund Barrage Releases Water, Yamuna River Rises Gradually

The Hathnikund Barrage in Haryana released a lot of water into the Yamuna River over two days.

This made the river level rise in a step‑by‑step way.

The Central Water Commission says the water level in Delhi will slowly go up a little more over the next few days.

The river is still below dangerous levels, so it should be safe for now.

The rain in the area was a bit less than usual, which helped explain the changes in water flow.

Some river stations near Delhi are already above their warning limits, but the main river is still below the danger mark.

The Hindon River, another tributary, is also a bit high but not dangerous.

People are watching the water levels closely to keep everyone safe.
