After the water level of Yamuna in Delhi decreased gradually, now the exercise to bring the arrangements of the capital back on track has intensified. Now information is coming that the Wazirabad water treatment plant has been started after the flood water has been emptied.

 

Giving information about the commencement of the Wazirabad water treatment plant, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the capacity of the Wazirabad water treatment plant is 134 MGD. This plant has started production of 54 MGD. Equipment in this plant has suffered maximum damage. It is expected that it will soon start working at full capacity.

 

Along with this, Kejriwal said that engineers are working round-the-clock to repair this plant. The Chief Minister also thanked the Public Works Department, Delhi Jal Board, and other agencies for the rescue and relief work in the flood-affected areas.

 

In a tweet, Kejriwal said, "I would like to personally thank all officers and engineers of PWD, DJB, Army, NDRF, I&FC, Navy and other departments for working 24x7 to save Delhiites and bring life back to normal." I want to thank you very much. Hats off to all of them! Thank you."

 

Along with this, on Sunday, he announced ten thousand rupees per family as financial help for the flood-affected families.

 

At the same time, Chandrawal Water Treatment Plant (WTP) resumed operations after the water level fell to 206.03 meters on Sunday. Three water treatment plants—Wazirabad, Okhla, and Chandrawal—were shut down on 13 July after floodwaters entered the pumping stations of these plants. Due to the closure of three treatment plants due to the rising level of Yamuna, a water crisis has arisen in many areas of Delhi.

 

Okhla water treatment plant started functioning at full capacity on Saturday evening. The Yamuna's water level on Monday morning reached 205.48 meters, slightly above the danger mark of 205.33 meters, while water-logging continued in several parts of the national capital.

 

Let us tell you that the Yamuna River in Delhi crossed the danger mark of 205.33 meters at 5 pm on July 10. The hourly water discharge from Hathinikund barrage which had reached around 3,60,000 cusecs on July 11 was 53,955 cusecs at 08 hrs on Sunday.
