"The level of Yamuna maintained at 206.05 meters for seven hours (till 8 pm). The rise was contributed by hourly discharge from Hathani Kund Barrage," Delhi government's flood control room said.

The river's water level was inching towards the danger mark in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district until Wednesday when the administration of Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district has asked people not to panic as the Yamuna river was flowing below the danger mark
