Today 23,816 people will be evacuated. A 2120-year-old camp will be set up for flood-affected people, of which 1100 have already been prepared. 30 locations have been identified by the administrative authorities in the lower reaches of Delhi. With this, 53 boats have been deployed at these places. Simultaneously emergency numbers have been issued. People living in Delhi can call 21210849, 22421656 if they have any problem with floods.
