Faridabad Deputy Commissioner visits ‘sensitive’ villages, urges residents to shift to safe homes due to rising water levels

Twenty -seven villages in Yamuna Bank were declared sensitive by the Faridabad administration on Tuesday, September 2, 2025 with the rising water level in the river. The inhabitants of a few villages moved to safer places determined by the authorities after their homes were flooded.

Deputy Commissioner Vikram Singh visited sensitive villages to stock the situation and objected to the villagers to move to safe houses built over time. Management accommodation, foodstuffs, drugs and first aid facilities in these safe houses provided. Especially at night, he warned the villagers that there is a possibility of water levels, so people should show full wakefulness and attention.

Approximately a dozen villages, including Basantpur, Kinawali, Lalpur, Mahavatpur, Rajpur and Tilori Khadar, have been placed in the most sensitive category and teams have been created to closely monitor the situation in these villages.

Due to heavy rains in the last 24 hours, many control dams built in the Aravalli area to save water have been filled beyond their capacities. Due to increasing pressure, some control dams collapsed because of flood -like situations in the lower parts of the village ofpur in the Gurigram.

On Tuesday, September 2, 2025, SDM Sanjeev Singla reached the point and took the stock of the situation and examined it with the authorities of the relevant departments. He gave clear instructions that the rain water coming from Aravalli to the settlement areas to the settlement areas should be checked as soon as possible and that the aid work should be accelerated in the affected areas.
