About 52,448 cusecs of water is being released from Hathinikund
According to central flood room officials, the main reason for the increase in water level is to release huge amounts of water every hour from Wazirabad and Hathinikund barrage. According to the data from the flood control department, about 37,230 cusecs of cusecs and about 52,448 cusecs of water are being released from Wazirabad every hour.
