Waterlogging on Ganga Expressway Interchange in Unnao Disrupts Traffic, Officials Respond
Heavy rainfall caused waterlogging on a 50-metre stretch of the Ganga Expressway interchange in Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, disrupting traffic and prompting locals to fish in the flooded area. Officials from the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) attributed the issue to a transmission line that limited construction height, affecting drainage. While some political figures, including Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav, criticized the BJP government for alleged corruption and drainage failures, authorities maintained that the main expressway remained operational and are seeking permanent solutions.
