Yamuna, Chambal rivers in spate in UP - NewsX

The Yamuna and Chambal rivers in Uttar Pradesh are in spate following heavy discharge of water from several barrages and are threatening to flood low-lying areas, officials said Saturday. A steamer service ferrying people across Chambal has been suspended after the water level began rising abruptly Friday. The steamer plied between Pinahat in Agra to Morena in Madhya Pradesh, 75 km from here. The river has swelled due to the releasing of water from the Kota barrage in Rajasthan, sub-divisional magistrate Ramji Lal said. The Yamuna too is in spate. The water level in Agra is increasing after discharges from barrages upstream.
