Kejriwal visits Delhi’s Mori Gate flood camp, promises relief to victims

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday visited a flood relief camp in Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya at Mori Gate in north Delhi.
Kejriwal was accompanied by Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Atishi during his visit to the relief camp, where residents of the flooded Yamuna Bazar area have taken shelter.
Kejriwal said that his government has made available almost all facilities, including electricity, water, food, and toilets.
“Due to the rise in the water level of the Yamuna River, many low-lying areas were affected and have been facing waterlogging for the past few days. So residents of affected areas were moved to various relief camps across the capital.
Six districts in the city have been affected, and the Delhi government has set up relief camps at several places in these districts. Relief camps were set up in nearby schools and Dharamshalas, and facilities for drinking water and toilets were ensured. This is one such relief camp; we have residents from the Yamuna Bazar area here», CM Kejriwal told reporters after visiting the camp.
Meanwhile, Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena also inspected flood-affected areas in Delhi›s Raj Ghat area today.
Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj earlier today inspected a relief camp near Mayur Vihar.
There have been complaints of inadequate facilities at the relief camps, with people sheltered there claiming shortages of water, inadequate toilets, electricity, and poor quality food. Meanwhile, according to the data shared by the Central Water Commission on their portal, the water level of the Yamuna River dropped to 205.88 metres at noon on Sunday.
