Water Levels Rise in Shahjahanpur: Ganga and Ramganga Rivers Cause Flooding on Shamsabad-Dhai Ghat Road

The rising water levels of rivers in the Shahjahanpur district have significantly impacted daily life. According to reports from the local news agency, the surge in the Ganga river has led to approximately two feet of water accumulating on the Shamsabad-Dhai Ghat road, causing major difficulties for commuters using this route.

Beyond the Ganga, the Ramganga river is also approaching dangerous levels. The increased water flow in the Ramganga has accelerated soil erosion along its banks, creating an atmosphere of fear among those living in the surrounding areas.

Other rivers in the district are also experiencing high water levels, leading to flood-like situations in several regions. Local administration and relevant departments are keeping a close watch on the situation, given its gravity.

There are concerns regarding potential damage to agricultural land due to the strong currents and erosion. Farmers are worried about their standing crops, as waterlogging poses a significant threat to their livelihoods.

The administration has advised local residents to remain vigilant. People living in low-lying areas have been urged to move to safer locations to prevent any untoward incidents.

Relevant departments have been placed on high alert to carry out relief and rescue operations. Officials stated that they are monitoring the situation closely and will provide additional assistance if required.

Currently, traffic on the Shamsabad-Dhai Ghat road is completely obstructed due to the water accumulation. The administration has appealed to the public to use alternative routes and avoid areas affected by flooding.
