A dozen National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams have been deployed in Delhi to tackle the situation in view of increased water levels in the Yamuna River.

Three teams each have been deployed in central, east and northeast Delhi while two are stationed in southeast Delhi and one in the Shahdara area of the national capital.

The teams are helping the administration in evacuating the flood-affected residents and others and also for rescuing those who face any dangerous situation like drowning.

The teams are equipped with inflatable boats, ropes and other rescue equipment.

The Yamuna water level touched 208.53 metres at 10 am, breaking a 45-year-old record, officials said.

Delhi metro has temporarily closed Yamuna Bank station and reduced train speed on four Yamuna bridges due to rising river levels. The river has passed its danger mark, flooding low-lying areas. The station is inaccessible due to the escalating river levels, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has said. Vehicular movement across several Delhi roads has also been disrupted.
