Ganga water level nears danger mark in Unnao; rescue operations conducted via boat in flooded village
The water level of the Ganga river is rising rapidly in Unnao, causing severe difficulties in flood-affected areas. The situation became so critical that an ambulance could not reach a village, forcing rescuers to use a boat to evacuate patients. According to official reports, the water level is just 18 centimeters away from the danger mark, raising concerns among local residents.
VIMARSHNAARAD TVThe rising water level of the Ganga river has intensified flood risks in the Unnao district. Over the past 24 hours, the river level has increased by four centimeters, reaching 112.820 meters. According to reports from Amar Ujala, this level is only 18 centimeters below the danger mark of 113 meters.
Rising waters have inundated low-lying villages, severely disrupting daily life. With roads submerged and access routes blocked, emergency services are facing significant operational challenges.
A recent incident highlighted these difficulties when an ambulance was unable to reach a flooded village. To ensure the patient received medical attention, local authorities and residents utilized a boat to transport the individual to safety, from where they were moved for further treatment.
Local administration is closely monitoring the situation. Residents living in areas along the riverbanks have been advised to remain alert. There is a growing concern that if the water level continues to rise at this pace, it may soon cross the danger threshold.
Flooding also threatens agricultural crops, adding to the distress of local farmers. The administration has accelerated relief and rescue operations to address any potential emergencies effectively.
In response to the rising water levels, arrangements for boats are being made in riverside villages to ensure that anyone requiring medical assistance can be evacuated promptly.
Officials stated that they are aware of the gravity of the situation and are making every effort to provide necessary support to affected families. Citizens have been urged to avoid the riverbanks and adhere to all official safety guidelines.
