Yamuna water level reaches the Taj Mahal's outside walls.

Agra: As a result of the rain in the northern states, the Yamuna River in Agra swelled in level, reaching the Taj Mahal's outer walls.

Dr. Rajkumar Patel, head of ASI in Agra, described the situation as follows: "The water level has risen to the areas behind the Taj Mahal. A garden and fencing are located in a sizable area that is located between the fencing and the Taj Mahal walls. The backyard garden and fencing are fully submerged. At the Taj Mahal's exterior wall, the water is between 1.5 and 2 feet deep.

Dr. Rajkumar Patel conducted an analysis of the situation and stated, "This could be an indication of alarm for any archaeological monument. Due to their age, they could have flaws like weak brickwork, weak plaster, small holes, or animal dens for mice.

The ASI head claimed that prolonged waterlogging might harm any historical monument, not just the Taj Mahal.

"Waterlogging might be harmful at any ancient monument, not just the Taj Mahal, if it continues. Weeds may grow as a result, and water may seep into mouse or other animal burrows. Weep holes are common in older masonry, and water can seep into them. Also, the moisture level may rise, which increases the risk of damage to areas with ancient plaster, the man stated.

According to Dr. Rajkumar Patel, the extent of damage, if any, cannot be determined until the water level drops. "We will examine the moisture content and the extent of the damage after the floodwaters have subsided. This applies to all monuments, not just the Taj Mahal specifically, he said.

Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor, erected the Taj Mahal as a memorial to his wife Mumtaz Mahal.

On Wednesday, the Yamuna River in the nation's capital was noted to be below the danger level. Around 3 pm on Wednesday, it was measured at 205.25 metres as opposed to 205.46 metres.

At 205.33 metres, the Yamuna is considered dangerous. After the national capital saw nonstop rain on July 10 around 5 p.m., the river crossed its danger mark.

In addition, numerous areas of Delhi experienced water logging and flood-like conditions as a result of the release of water from the Hathni Kund in Haryana and heavy rainfall.

Given the circumstances, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has sent out 17 teams to help with rescue efforts in Delhi's flood-affected neighbourhoods. 1606 individuals have been saved. The NDRF crews have also evacuated 7241 humans and 956 animals. 908 people who were saved had also received pre-hospital care.

Out of the 26,401 persons who were evacuated from the low-lying parts of Delhi's six districts hit by the flood, 21,504 are currently residing in 44 camps (including temporary relief camps as well as Pucca Buildings like schools, community centres). The remaining evacuated residents have moved.
