Commuters suffer as part of NH-73 damaged
Yamunanagar, June 20 Even as the Yamuna remained much below the danger mark, which was recorded at 29,371 cusec at 4 pm, the threat of fresh floods loomed large in Kamalpur and the adjoining villages as the river bank gave in at this place. The district administration again rushed army men to the spot which repaired the damaged Yamuna bank on a war footing, thus preventing water from entering nearby villages. The movement of trains on the Ambala-Hardwar section was back to normal while commuters had to face hardships using the NH-73 from Kami Majra village up to the Yamuna bridge connecting Haryana with UP as the road had been completely destroyed in the floods. The accumulated water in villages had receded to a great extent with only some low-lying areas still submerged. Deputy Commissioner KM Pandurang said the administration had roped in the Red Cross Society and social organisations which had set up special assistance centres at strategic points in flood-hit areas. He said that food packets and drinking water had been rushed to all villages. Health teams had also been stationed at important places to provide medicare. Yamuna water submerges crops
Faridabad: Water from the Yamuna entered the fields at a dozen villages, including Mauzabad and Manjhauli, this morning, creating panic among the district authorities. About 50 men who were tending to their crops in the fields were trapped in the water. They were rescued in motorboats by district management committee personnel. Standing crops were submerged and the quantum
of damage to crops was yet to assessed. Village residents alleged a lacklustre approach of
the authorities to relief measures. Deputy Commissioner Balraj Singh, who visited some of the villages
along embankments of the Yamuna this morning, said there was no cause for an alarm. Help at hand
Chandigarh: The government has set up the helpline number 0172-2545938 at its control room to give updates and receive and disseminate information on whereabouts of people from Haryana stranded in Uttarakhand. A team of civil and police officials has been stationed in Dehradun to provide help and make transport arrangements.
