A rise in the water level in river Hindon is worrying residents and farmers who carry out agriculture along the riverbanks.

We will issue alert in areas adjoining Hindon once the discharge increases or flooding situation is on the cards,” said Binod Kumar Singh, executive engineer, irrigation department. The densely populated areas of Kanawani, Chhajarsi and others, near the intersection of Ghaziabad and Gautam Budh Nagar, have hundreds of houses built on the floodplains of river Hindon. Another resident Rinkesh Kumar said locals have enlisted two men to keep a watch over the rising water level at night.
