The Yamuna’s water level in Delhi continued to recede for the second consecutive day on Friday. However, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that there has been no slack in relief work and all the agencies concerned are closely monitoring the developments. The CM made the statement even as Arvind Kejriwal, a former CM and national convener of Aam Aadmi Party, visited flood relief camps and highlighted “lapses” in the arrangements for the flood-affected residents.
At 6 p.m. on Friday, the water level at the Old Railway Bridge — a key observation point to track the river’s flow — was 207.12 metres, a drop from the season’s high of 207.48 metres recorded a day earlier.
