New Delhi: In a precautionary measure, the government on Sunday evacuated the people the houses occupied by people along banks of river Yamuna after the water level rose beyond the danger mark.

The move which come amid incessant rains has left lots of families on roads, without a roof on their head.

“There is no arrangement of food or shelter” a man said, after he had to spend the night in rain with his whole family.

“The Rain Baseras (night shelters) are full, this is what people staying in slums get (Jhuggi jhopdi waalon ko yahi milta hai)” he added.

In some villages in Yamunanagar district, the flood waters entered ouses and buildings.

The administration deployed boats at various places for people to commute from one village to other and to evacuate them, if the water level rises further.

The water level rose in the wake of continuous rains in catchment areas in Himachal Pradesh.

CM Khattar sought information on the water level from the deputy commissioners of Yamunanagar, Karnal, Panipat, Sonipat and Palwal, and other officers through video-conferencing. He also reviewed the arrangements made by them, an official spokesperson said here.
