While attending a press conference with Co-convenor Delhi BJP Legal Cell Bansuri Swaraj, Virendraa Sachdeva said, "The root cause of flood in Delhi is not the water of Hathnikund, it is the corruption of Kejriwal government, which needs a judicial inquiry."
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation on Sunday informed that the entry and exit gates at the Yamuna Bank Metro station have been opened as the waterlogging situation in the area has improved.
BJP national spokesperson RP Singh on Sunday came down heavily on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the prevailing flood situation in the national capital, accusing the ruling party of tryng to hide its failure in dealing with the water woes.
The situation of waterlogging in several low lying areas of Delhi, including on roads from Kashmere Gate to Majnu Ka Tila, has improved today as the water level slowly recedes, it said.
As some parts of Delhi still continued to be immersed in flood water causing waterlogging and traffic snarls, the Aam Adami Party (AAP) has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Central Government of orchestrating a conspiracy to flood the city with the water of Haryana’s Hathnikund Barra
Earlier on Thursday too, PM Modi had called Delhi LG from France and enquired about the waterlogging and flood situation in Delhi and efforts to deal with it.
Amid the rising water level of the Yamuna river which led water logging and floods in low lying areas in the National capital, the Chief Minister, on Saturday, took to Twitter and stated that the water level of the river is gradually decreasing.
Several areas of the city are under water as the water level of River Yamuna rose following heavy rainfall and the release of water from the Hathnikund Barrage in neighbouring Haryana.
Earlier, at 9 PM on Friday, the water level of Yamuna was recorded at 208.07 metres. CWC had expected the water level to be at 208.05 Metres on July 14 (Friday) between 10:00 PM to 12:00 AM. But the water level came down faster than the expectations of the Central Water Commission.&n
Delhi LG who visited the spot to review the ongoing repair work said, “Our challenge was how to fix the bridge. Army personnel have been deployed here since morning. It was difficult because the water current was around 5-6 knots here.”
