In a significant development, the Delhi High Court has issued a directive to the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to swiftly remove all encroachments and illegal constructions from the Yamuna river bank, riverbed, and associated drains.

The Yamuna River, which recently witnessed its highest recorded water level in history, is gradually receding, offering some respite to the flood-affected areas in the capital city. According to the Central Water Commission, the water level is expected to reach approximately 206.72 meters by 9-11 pm tonight, although it will still remain above the danger mark of 205.33 meters. However, concerns loom as the India Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert, predicting heavy to very heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh over the next five days.
