The surging waters of the Ganga river have led to a severe flood situation in Farrukhabad district, submerging 27 villages. The rising water levels have disrupted daily life, prompting authorities to conduct an on-site assessment late Tuesday evening.

Official Visit and Relief Efforts

Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Amritpur, Shweta Sahu, Additional Superintendent of Police Girish Kumar, and Rajeepur Police Station Officer Nagendra Singh, used a steamer to inspect flood-affected areas such as Islam Ki Madhaiya and Tissram Ki Madhaiya. They interacted directly with villagers to understand their problems and promised solutions.

Officials advised villagers to avoid deep water and use boats only when absolutely necessary. Specific instructions were issued for the extra care of children and the elderly.
