"The water level in the Yamuna is receding. The situation will be normal soon if it doesn't rain. If it rains, then it may take a bit longer," Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said.
The water levels in the Yamuna river began receding on Friday after rising continuously over the last three days. In the video, the water marks on the wall show the extent to which the water levels have fallen.
As Delhi battles severe flooding after record rain and release of water from Hathni Kund Barrage in Haryana, the weather office has predicted more showers for the national capital over the next couple of days. Light rain pounded several parts of Delhi yesterday as well.
After breaching a 45-year old record, the Yamuna which runs through the national capital, came down to 207.43 metres by 10 am on Saturday from its peak of 208.66 metres at 8 pm on Thursday, according to the Central Water Commission. However, it is still over two metres above the danger mark of 205.33 metres.
