He said that people living on the banks of yamuna need to be very careful right now.

At the same time, the delhi government has appealed to the people to stay away from the yamuna river and especially advised children not to go near the river. An announcement will be made from tuesday to not go near the river and not to swim. Saurabh said that boats will be arranged if needed.

Rescue operation will start if needed

Saurabh said that if the river reaches the danger mark, then a rescue operation will be started to send people to safe places. He said that the concerned departments have made preparations to avoid flood conditions like last monsoon. The obstacles to the flow of the river have been removed.
