Narmada level receding

By Our Special Correspondent

GANDHINAGAR, AUG. 18. The level of the Narmada river, which was threatening to inundate the low-lying areas of Broach and Narmada districts in Gujarat, has receded.

According to a spokesman here today, the level of the river after reaching 19 feet at the Golden Bridge point near Broach, started receding today due to absence of rains in its catchment areas.

The alert issued to the people in Broach and Narmada districts yesterday with the river threatening to cross the danger mark of 22 feet this morning, however, has not been withdrawn. But the people have been advised to keep a close watch on the situation.
