Haryana rain: As water levels in state’s rivers rise, authorities on alert

* Ghaggar River

Water from the Ghaggar River has entered two villages in the Pehowa area of Kurukshetra. Overflow from the river has flooded fields in Kupiyan Plot and Adhoya village.

In Panchkula, the water level of the Ghaggar River has reached 9,000 cusecs, while the danger mark is at 25,000 cusecs.

In Kaithal, the water level is around 22 feet, just 1 foot below the danger mark.

* Markanda River

The Markanda River is currently flowing with over 31,000 cusecs of water. The danger level is marked at 256 meters, and the river is flowing 0.15 meters above this level.

Due to the overflow of the Markanda River, roads and fields in eight villages of Kurukshetra have been flooded.

In Shahabad, roads and fields in areas such as Kathwa, Mughal Majra, Patti Jamda, Malkpur, and Gumti have submerged. Water has also filled fields in Tangaur, Aroop Nagar, and Madanpur.

* Tangri River

The current water level is 11,000 cusecs, still below the danger mark. However, with continued rainfall, the level may rise.

In Ambala, the water level of the Tangri River is rising rapidly. The administration has issued an alert and advised residents living near the riverbanks to move to safer places. The Tangri River had overflowed just a few days ago as well.

In Ambala, water has accumulated up to 2 to 3 feet in six residential colonies. Silt and debris have clogged the underground drainage pipelines, worsening the waterlogging situation.
