With several parts of the city still inundated, the chief minister also urged people to avoid waterlogged areas. Tagging a video of children playing in floodwaters in Delhi’s Shanti Van, he said, “I urge everyone to avoid this. It cud be fatal.” The chief minister further said that the water treatment plants at Wazirabad and Chandrawal will start functioning again by Sunday.

“The water level of Yamuna is receding slowly. The situation will normalise soon if there is no more heavy rain. Water is being drained out of Wazirabad and Chandrawal treatment plants. The machines will be dried afterwards. Both the plants will be started by tomorrow,” he tweeted in Hindi.
