Yamuna water level back to normal

New Delhi: Water level in the Yamuna in Delhi reached the normal level on Thursday following release of water from Haryana giving rise to hopes that pumping stations here would get back to their feet improving the situation.

"The water level in the Yamuna is back to normal," said a Delhi Jal Board (DJB) spokesperson. The level of water in the Yamuna had been dipping for the last few days. The level required for the pumping stations to function normally is 674.5 feet.

However, Haryana released 50 cusecs of water yesterday, bringing the water level in the Yamuna back to normal. Areas in the tail-end of the water supply network of the DJB, however, continued to suffer from inadequate supply. The DJB spokesperson said complaints were received from South Delhi, which is at the tail-end of the water supply. PTI
