Twenty-seven villages on the bank of Yamuna were declared sensitive by the Faridabad administration on Tuesday (September 2, 2025) with rising water level in the river. The residents of a couple of villages have shifted to safer places identified by the authorities after their houses were flooded.
Deputy Commissioner Vikram Singh visited the sensitive villages to take stock of the situation and made an appeal to the villagers to shift to the safe homes built by the administration in time. In these safe homes, the administration has provided accommodation, food items, medicines and first aid facilities. He especially warned the villagers that there is a possibility of water level rising at night, so people should exercise full vigilance and caution.
Around a dozen villages, including Basantpur, Kidawali, Lalpur, Mahavatpur, Rajpur Kalan and Tilori Khadar are placed in the most sensitive category and teams have been constituted for close monitoring of the situation in these villages.
Due to heavy rains over the past 24 hours, many check dams built for water conservation in the Aravalli area were filled beyond their capacity. Due to increased pressure, some check dams collapsed, due to which flood-like situation arose in the lower areas of Kadarpur village in Gurugram.
On Tuesday (September 2, 2025), SDM Sanjeev Singla reached the spot and took stock of the situation and reviewed it with the officials of the concerned departments. He gave clear instructions to the irrigation department that the rainwater coming from Aravalli to the residential areas should be controlled as soon as possible and relief work should be expedited in the affected areas.
