Flood alerts in Uttar Pradesh....

A flood alert has been issued in several districts of Uttar Pradesh, in view of heavy rains for the last two days.

All major rivers are in spate and have inundated large swathes of land.

As Sharda and Ghaghra rivers crossed danger mark in Lakhimpur Kheri and Barabanki, the flood threat looms large over several other districts.

As per reports, as many as 11 people have lost their lives in accidents caused by rain in different parts of the state, in the last two days.

The flood posts established to help the affected people have started working in various districts including Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Khiri, Basti and Bahraich.

The water of the bulging Ganga has entered into Rasulpur village of Amroha. The district administration has sounded flood alert for twelve more villages.

In Kushinagar, river Budhi Gandak is in spate due to water released from Valmikinagar barrage and continuous rain in upper reaches of Nepal.

Though still below danger mark, river Ganga is rising in Kanpur, Allahabad and Varanasi flooding low lying areas.
