Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday held an emergency meeting to review the situation arising due to rising water levels in the Yamuna. Assuring that all concerned authorities and departments are alert and ready to deal with any flood-like situation, he said that water with full force will reach Delhi by Wednesday.

The water released from the barrage – the main source of drinking water for the capital – usually takes around 72 hours to reach Delhi. Over 8 lakh cusecs of water had been released by Monday noon.

Civil Defence volunteers have been deployed at key locations.

Water can reach here during the next two days with full force, all our officers and ministers are monitoring the situation 24x7,” the chief minister said.
