Life has come to a standstill after the record rise in the water level of Yamuna in the capital Delhi. Due to the flood, the roads have been flooded in many areas of Delhi. The rise in water level has caused damage to properties in low-lying areas and has created a complicated situation for people living in flood-affected areas. After the flood in Yamuna, the priority of the rescue workers was to evacuate as many people as possible from the affected areas. However, in many cases animals like stray dogs, stray cows, bulls and cats were left there.
NGOs rescued more than 400 dogs
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) came forward to rescue over 900 animals from the flood-affected areas of Delhi and Noida in the last few days. Apart from this, two NGOs also rescued more than 400 dogs from these areas. Friendikos and Noida-based House of Stray Animals carried out campaigns in different parts of the city and rescued hundreds of dogs stranded in low-lying areas affected by the rise in the water level of the Yamuna. After wreaking havoc in Delhi, the water level of Yamuna started receding from Saturday morning, but it is still flowing two meters above the danger mark of 205.33 metres.
