Delhi officials has told flooding of system region of Yamuna agar in Haryana with barrages of Delhi unable to regulate Yamuna’s flow effectively another reason can be that development in Yamuna floodplain has not been stopped large scale concretization of state is on but desalting of drains ahead of monsoon has not been provtized.
