Uttar Pradesh: Water level of river Ganga rises at Varanasi due to heavy rain

The sudden increase in the water level in the rivers due to continuous rain in the hilly areas led to the Moradabad railway station underpass getting completely submerged and flooding in the nearby villages of Bhagatpur, Bhojpur and Munda Pandey. Water also entered the settlements in the lower areas of Prayagraj, forcing people to evacuate their homes. Baghada, Salori and Rajapur were some of the worst affected areas.
