Heavy Rain Floods Ganga Expressway Toll Plaza, Disrupts Traffic and Raises Safety Concerns
Heavy rain caused significant flooding at the Ganga Expressway toll plaza in Uttar Pradesh, submerging the area under nearly two feet of water and disrupting vehicle movement. Staff continued working inside waterlogged booths while efforts to drain the water using pumps, tube wells, and tractors persisted throughout the day. The flooding raised safety concerns due to a high-tension power line above the plaza and added to existing worries about road damage and water management on the expressway.
