Delhi:Flood fear, Yamuna continues to rise.

Could more low lying areas of the Capital be submerged? The shadow of floods looms large over Delhi as the Yamuna continues to flow well above the danger mark of 204.88 metres. Rain is still coming down heavily in most parts of the city. The rainfall for the month of August has already broken a 10-year record. There has been more than 413 mm of rainfall in the city till now this month, the highest in a decade. The other big concern is water released from a barrage in Haryana will reach Delhi later today, adding further to the woes. "How will the poor manage? Where will we go? There is no food. We have made our houses here. Where else will we go," says Neeraj, a worried rickshaw puller. At present the National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) team and the Delhi government team are patrolling the river with 60 boats. "People living in huts have been evacuated. But those living in houses on the river bank are still there. The water has reached their doors. If the water level rises it will be dangerous for them," says Sahabjeet Yadav, an NDRF Sub-Inspector. The Chief Minister's office has said that at least 10 camps have been set up with temporary shelters in low lying areas close to the river.
