Yamuna Water Level Falls Below Evacuation Mark
The water level in the Yamuna River has gone down below the point where people need to leave their homes.
It's still above what's considered normal, but it's not as high as it was.
The river had flooded some areas recently, and people had to move to safety.
Officials are keeping a close watch on the situation, as water is still coming from upstream, which could affect the water levels again.

The water level has fallen below the 206-meter evacuation mark.
Evacuations were underway from low-lying areas.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
