Yamuna River’s water level approaches Taj Mahal wall after 45 years

The Yamuna river has reached the Taj Mahal walls, first time since 45 years, crossing the low-level flood mark of 495 feet in Agra.
Although some areas near Taj Mahal are inundated, there is no immediate threat to the heritage site.
The water level rise is due to water release from Okhla and Gokul barrages, previously causing evacuation of residents and compensations.
