NORMAL LIFE was thrown out of gear in Punjab and Haryana as heavy rainfall added more misery to the lives of people.
Meanwhile, the incessant downpour in neighbouring Delhi has also caught people in its web. Met officials have warned people living in areas close to the Yamuna to remain vigilant. They have also been warned of the rising water levels as Haryana released 3.25 lakh cusecs of water into the river from Hathni Kund barrage. The heavy rainfall in the catchment areas of Yamuna, Markanda and Ghaggar rivers have caused heavy discharge of water at Hathni Kund barrage. As state irrigation officials keep a tight vigil on the possible damage that could be caused by the rising water levels, the district officials in Yamunanagar, Karnal, Sonepat, Panipat, Faridabad and Palwal have also been alerted. Government officials have put up 20 camps to provide adequate shelter to the people affected by the rise in the water apart from arranging for food and medical facilities. Many parts in Haryana have witnessed heavy rains these include Rohtak (42.2 mm), Bhiwani (19.2 mm), Karnal (11.8 mm), Panipat (26 mm), Sonepat (28 mm), Kalayat (65 mm), Rewari (19 mm), Fatehabad (9 mm), Jind (14 mm), Yamunanagar (51 mm), Hisar (63 mm) and Panchkula (15 mm) were lashed by heavy showers.
