Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday held an emergency video conference with district officials over the constant spell of rains. During the discussion, the officials informed the Chief Minister about Ghaggar river flowing above danger mark. Moreover, Yamuna, Markanda, and Tangri rivers in the neighbourhood have already created deep concern. After the meeting, the deputy commissioners of Ambala, Panchkula, and Yamunanagar were instructed to prohibit people from visiting near waterways.
Due to the constant increase in water levels of Yamuna, Ghaggar, and other minor rivers, low-lying areas are being evacuated. The Narwana branch and S.V. canals are also running at full capacity, and district officials are closely monitoring the situation. Officials have been advised to keep sand-laden sacks ready to immediately control any cracks in river banks or drains. If a region is flooded, rescue personnel are tasked with ensuring the safety of affected individuals and providing them with food rations and basic medical services.
