Key Takeaways
- The Hindon River rose above the 201‑metre mark, flooding the Greater Noida area.
- Around 300 vehicles were left stranded near the Ecotech 3 yard.
- Approximately 200 houses and 500 people were displaced from nearby colonies.
The area near Ecotech 3 in Greater Noida has been submerged under water because of rising levels in the Hindon River. As a result, approximately 300 vehicles are stranded.
According to the Gautam Buddh Nagar District Magistrate, a private company built an unauthorized yard in the river’s submergence zone.
Even after repeated warnings, the company did not remove the vehicles parked there. However, normal life has not been affected in any way, and no casualties have been reported. As the river crossed the 201-metres mark on Monday, July 24, nearly 500 people were displaced from the Hindon floodplains in Bahlolpur, Lakhnavali, Chotpur Colony, and Chhajarsi, after 200 houses got submerged in water.
It is being feared that the water level in the river could rise further due to heavy rainfall and flooding in the upper-reaches of the rain-fed river.
