District Magistrate K. Mahesh said that they are prepared for the situation and are making people aware.

Earlier on Saturday, the Delhi government have issued flood warning and asked the people living in low-lying areas to evacuate.

Release of 5 lakh cusec of water in the Yamuna by neighbouring Haryana propelled CM Kejriwal to call an emergency meeting.

In Haryana, the Yamunanagar district administration issued a high alert as the water level in the Yamuna crossed the five lakh-cusec mark due to a downpour.
