New Delhi: Some areas of Delhi will face a water crisis as three water treatment plants - Wazirabad, Chandrawal and Okhla - are closed due to the rising levels of the Yamuna, said Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday.

"Due to the rising water level of River Yamuna, water treatment plants in Wazirabad, Chandrawal and Okhla are being closed. This would cause water problems in some areas of Delhi. As soon as the river's water level decreases, we will try to restart these plants again, " CM Kejriwal shared in a tweet.

According to Dynamite News correspondent, the Chief Minister visited the Wazirabad Water Treatment Plant on Thursday after it was shut down due to the rising water level in the Yamuna.

In the meantime, Traffic police issued an alert informing that the movement traffic in certain areas had been diverted due to the ongoing flood situation resulting in waterlogging at many places.
