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.
“Considering the improvement of the flood situation and descending water level of Yamuna River, it has been decided by the competent authorities to withdraw all the restrictions imposed as per the orders on July 13th and 17th with effect from July 19th," read the official statement.
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.
Speaking to ANI, the former bureaucrat said, "Kejriwal has no knowledge of technology and water management...He should think about implementing long-term schemes to save Delhi."
The MCD declared the list of schools that would remain closed on July 18 owing to the relief camps there or as a preventative measure due to waterlogging.
