Delhi Government Plans Yamuna Flood Protection Wall Completion by March 2027
The Delhi Government informed the National Green Tribunal that a flood protection wall along the Yamuna, from Magazine drain to the Old Railway Bridge, will be completed by March 31, 2027. This follows the 2023 floods when water levels exceeded existing embankments, causing inundation. The project is technically feasible, with design work underway and pending statutory approvals. The ITO barrage is unlikely to come under Delhi's control, as Haryana retains it for regional water discharge measurement. A joint committee recommended coordinated operation of barrages during floods and regular maintenance.
