Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has taken the lead to address the potential risks associated with the rising water levels. The conference, scheduled to take place at the Delhi Secretariat, will involve key officials from various departments, including the Delhi Jal Board, Municipal Corporation of Delhi, and the Irrigation and Flood Control Department.

In addition to the government officials, experts from various fields such as hydrology, disaster management, and environmental science will also be present to provide their insights and suggestions. The aim of the conference is to develop a coordinated strategy that combines short-term emergency measures with long-term flood mitigation plans.

During the conference, Chief Minister Kejriwal is expected to emphasize the importance of preparedness and swift action to protect vulnerable areas and residents. Discussions will revolve around strengthening the city’s flood defense infrastructure, improving drainage systems, and implementing early warning systems to ensure timely evacuation if necessary.

Arvind Kejriwal, in a statement released ahead of the conference, said, “The rising water levels of the Yamuna River are a matter of serious concern. We cannot afford to overlook the lessons learned from previous floods. Our priority is to safeguard the lives and properties of Delhi’s residents. This conference aims to bring together expertise and resources to devise a comprehensive plan that will help us effectively tackle the situation at hand and mitigate future risks.”

With monsoon season in full swing, the city administration has already ramped up efforts to manage the rising water levels. The Delhi Jal Board has been working to regulate the release of water from the Wazirabad barrage, which plays a crucial role in preventing flooding downstream. Meanwhile, officials are closely monitoring the situation and preparing contingency measures to deal with any eventualities.

As the conference gets underway, all eyes will be on the outcome, as the measures and strategies formulated will play a crucial role in averting a potential disaster and ensuring the safety of Delhi’s residents in the face of rising Yamuna water levels.#
