Lucknow Floodwaters Recede; Clean-Up and Embankment Survey Underway
Floodwaters in Lucknow's Faizullaganj area have receded by 5-6 feet, prompting the Lucknow Municipal Corporation to plan a large-scale cleanliness drive focused on clearing garbage, desilting drains, and pumping out stagnant water. Meanwhile, the Gomti river's water level dropped by up to 13 cm in 24 hours, offering some relief, though waterlogging may persist in low-lying areas. Authorities are preparing to survey a proposed embankment stretch to facilitate future flood control measures and plan to keep barrage gates open until water levels fall below safety thresholds.
