Monsoon woes: This year we're all geared up, says Bharadwaj

The Minister emphasised the primary factors contributing to flooding in the Capital, including the discharge of water into the Yamuna River at the Hathnikund barrage in Haryana, which is exacerbated by heavy rainfall.

Bharadwaj stated, “The main cause of flooding in Delhi is the water discharged into the Yamuna at Hathnikund barrage, and heavy rain can further raise its water level.” To mitigate flooding, he explained that when the water level of the Yamuna increases, the government halts direct drainage discharge into the river using regulators. “When the Yamuna’s level increases then we stop the direct drainage discharge into the Yamuna to prevent Yamuna’s water from entering into the city. This year we’re all geared up and pumps are ready,” he added.
