Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday spoke to Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and enquired about the flood-like situation occurring in various parts of the state due to recent heavy rainfall.
As the water level of Yamuna river in Delhi breached danger lever mark of 205.33 meters, the flood-affected people on Saturday took shelter in relief camps, across the capital.
Vehicular movement on the road near the Red Fort returned to normalcy on Wednesday morning, days after it was halted after severe waterlogging and flood conditions as the Yamuna river continued to be in spate, officials said.
The water level of the Yamuna is witnessing a decline but is above the danger level and was recorded at 205.46 metres at 3 PM in Delhi on Tuesday from 205.71 metres recorded at 7 am.
Asserting that the absence of "desilting" of Yamuna was the root cause of floods in Delhi, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Meenakashi Lekhi on Sunday lashed out at the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government asking where the Rs 6,800 crore spent on cleaning the river go.
