"Water level increasing in Yamuna. Nearing danger mark. No need to panic. Team on alert. Few people evacuated from Burari. Disaster management and flood department teams on night duty. Announcements done," he tweeted.
Mishra said water may recede after 3 AM and that the government has five district teams on standby.
