The CM was accompanied by Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Atishi during his visit to the relief camp where inhabitants from the inundated Yamuna Bazar area have sought refuge.
“Due to the rise in the water level of Yamuna River, many low-lying areas were affected and have been facing waterlogging for the past few days. So residents of affected areas were moved to various relief camps across the capital. Six districts in the city have been affected and Delhi government has set up relief camps at several places in these six districts. Relief camps were set up in nearby schools and Dharamshalas and facilities for drinking water and toilets were ensured. This is one such relief camp, we have residents from the Yamuna Bazar area here”, CM Kejriwal told reporters after visiting the camp.
Vinai Kumar Saxena, the Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG), today also visited the flood-affected regions in the Raj Ghat locality of Delhi.
