Mathura: In UP, the water level of the Yamuna River reached 165.99 meters at 6 pm on Tuesday, which is very close to the danger mark of 166 meters. Under the leadership of District Magistrate Chandra Prakash Singh and SSP Shlok Kumar, the district administration is inspecting flood-affected areas and streamlining preparations for relief and rescue operations. Local residents have been appealed to remain vigilant and contact the administration immediately in case of any emergency.
Flood threat in Mathura due to rising water level
According to the Meteorological Department and the Water Resources Department, the water level of the Yamuna has been continuously increasing in the last few hours. At 1 pm, the water level was 165.93 meters, which increased to 165.94 meters at 2 pm, 165.95 meters at 3 and 4 pm, and 165.97 meters at 5 pm. At 6 pm, the water level reached 165.99 meters. This rapid increase has become a cause of concern for the administration and local residents.
Experts say that heavy rainfall in recent days and an increase in the volume of water in upstream areas are affecting the water level of the Yamuna. If the water level continues to rise in this manner, the river may soon cross the danger mark, which could lead to a flood crisis in the low-lying areas.
Mathura administration alert due to rising water level
After the water level reached close to the danger mark, the Mathura district administration has become fully alert. District Magistrate Chandra Prakash Singh and Senior Superintendent of Police Shlok Kumar, ADM Finance and Flood In-charge Pankaj Kumar Verma are continuously inspecting the flood-affected areas. The administration has established outposts in flood-affected areas and streamlined preparations for relief and rescue operations.
The administration has ensured that rescue teams are kept ready at all times. Boats, life-saving equipment, and relief materials are all prepared. In addition, the administration has increased continuous monitoring at the outposts stationed in the area so that immediate action can be taken in any emergency situation.
Administration's warning to local people
The district administration has appealed to the people living on the banks of the Yamuna to exercise special vigilance. People have been asked not to go to the river bank and to contact the administration immediately in case of any emergency. Do not pay attention to rumors and also make your family and neighbors aware to stay safe.
The local administration has also directed that a plan should be prepared to shift people living in low-lying areas to safer places. Also, the number of employees and volunteers deployed in flood-affected areas has been increased so that quick relief work can be carried out in any emergency situation.
Increasing danger of Yamuna in Mathura and preparation of administration
