Yamuna water level in Delhi stands at 207.33 metres, likely to recede further

New Delhi: The water level in the Yamuna river at Delhi's Old Railway Bridge stood at 207.33 metres at 7 am on Friday, a day after reaching the season's highest at 207.48 metres.

According to official data, the level stood at 207.35 metres at 6 am.

According to officials, the water is likely to recede further during the day. The river has unleashed fury in low-lying areas in the last few days, submerging homes, displacing people and affecting businesses.

Old Railway Bridge is the flood-forecasting station for Delhi.

The district authorities have cautioned people against venturing out into the swollen river for swimming, boating or recreational purposes.
