Noida Flood News: For over 24 hours, a steady flow of 2.44 lakh cusecs of water has been released from the Okhla Barrage near Kalindi Kunj. Meanwhile, the Hathni Kund Barrage is releasing 1.30 lakh cusecs of water. However, continuous rainfall has caused the Yamuna River's water level to rise, with water reaching the river's embankments, Jagran.com reported.

Yamuna Water Level Affects Harnandi/Hindon River Flow

- The sustained water level in the Yamuna has resulted in backflow in the Harnandi river, causing its water level to surge rapidly. Currently, the Harnandi river is flowing at 201 meters, equivalent to 6,487 cusecs, while the danger mark is at 205 meters. This situation has forced residents to evacuate their homes.

- The affected areas include over 150 neighbourhoods along the Yamuna and Pusta, specifically sectors 133, 134, 135, and 168. Approximately 5,000 farmhouses have been inundated due to the rising water levels.

Noida Flood Alert: Noida Authority Warns Residents

Noida Authority CEO Lokesh M has appealed to people living in flood-prone areas to evacuate and avoid going into the water. Over 2,000 people have already set up makeshift shelters on roads. The Noida Authority has established eight relief camps with food arrangements for flood victims.

These camps are set up in various locations, including Sector 135 and 150, Bakhtawarapur, Chaprauli, Kondli, Nangli Wajidpur, Nangla Nagli, and Jhatta village.

The Yamuna and Harnandi or Hindon rivers are overflowing, with the water level reaching the danger mark. The Harnandi's water has come close to the homes of six villages in the flood-prone area, prompting the relocation of people to relief camps.
