Severe Flooding in Uttar Pradesh Submerges Railway Underpass and Forces Thousands to Evacuate

Continuous heavy rains have caused river levels to rise, affecting multiple districts and leading to significant displacement and damage.

Moradabad railway station underpass is completely submerged due to rising river water levels, causing major commuter disruptions.
In Prayagraj, thousands of residents have been forced to evacuate as floodwaters from the Ganga and Yamuna rivers inundate low-lying areas.
The water levels of the Ganga and Yamuna are rising rapidly, with the Ganga increasing by 10 cm per hour at Phaphamau and the Yamuna by 4.75 cm per hour at Naini.
Varanasi is also experiencing severe flooding, with the Ganga's water level nearing the danger mark and affecting daily activities, including the relocation of the Ganga Arti.
Relief efforts are underway, with the deployment of NDRF, SDRF, and PAC teams, and the establishment of relief camps for displaced families across multiple affected districts.
