Delhi Government Launches 24x7 Flood Control Room for Real-Time Monitoring

The Delhi government has announced the establishment of a 24x7 flood control room to monitor real-time data from the Hathni Kund Barrage. This initiative aims to tackle potential flood situations in Delhi. The control room, manned by officials from various agencies, will monitor data and initiate relief efforts when necessary.

The Delhi government has proactively set up a 24x7 flood control room to closely monitor real-time data from the Hathni Kund Barrage, which releases Yamuna river water into the city. In a joint press conference, city ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj underscored the importance of this initiative.

Officials from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the Delhi Development Authority, and the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) will operate the flood control room, ensuring a coordinated approach to flood management.

"Last year saw the Yamuna reaching unprecedented levels in 70 years, and this year, we are prepared for any flood eventuality," stated Atishi, emphasizing the swift activation of relief mechanisms upon the release of substantial water from the barrage. Bharadwaj highlighted that the computerized control room will provide real-time data to inform timely interventions.
