Delhi plans 4.7 km flood protection wall along Yamuna

A plan has been proposed to build a 4.7 km flood protection wall along the Yamuna in Delhi.

The project is aimed at addressing recurring flooding in low-lying areas of the city.

Key locations expected to benefit include Civil Lines and Kashmere Gate.

Officials said the structure is being designed as a long-term solution to manage flood risks, reported The Economic Times.

The proposal comes in response to repeated instances of flooding during monsoon seasons.

Environmental concerns have been raised regarding the impact of the construction.

The project forms part of broader efforts to strengthen urban resilience.

Authorities are expected to take the plan forward following further review and approvals.

The development highlights the balance between infrastructure and environmental considerations.
