Rising Ganga and Yamuna Waters Flood Prayagraj Low-Lying Areas Amid Monsoon Rains
Rising water levels in the Ganga and Yamuna rivers due to continuous monsoon rains and dam discharges have flooded low-lying areas in Prayagraj, affecting thousands and submerging ghats. Authorities have issued alerts, activated relief camps, and deployed rescue teams. The annual ritual of the Ganga entering the Lete Hanuman Temple's sanctum was observed amid these conditions. Residents face challenges including waterlogging, restricted movement, and concerns over access to schools, while officials monitor the situation closely.
