Kanpur: Flood-like conditions prevailed in several areas of Shuklaganj in Unnao district, affecting more than 100 families and forcing many residents to lock their homes and move to safer locations.Schools remained closed as waterlogging made it difficult for residents to step out of their homes. In some areas, boats were being used to transport essential goods. Residents demanded immediate relief measures, better roads and a permanent drainage system to prevent recurring inundation.Meanwhile, in Safipur, the Ganga’s water level rose on Wednesday morning, while continuous rainfall caused the Kalyani river to swell and completely submerge a low-level bridge.As a result, dozens of villages, including Rampur, Sherpur, Ibrahimabad and Karimabad, were cut off from direct access to the main road, forcing residents to take a 7-km detour.After receiving information about the situation, the administration deployed revenue officials at the site to ensure public safety.On the instructions of SDM Falguni Singh, a boat was deployed in Jamal Nagar to help schoolchildren and other commuters cross the river safely.Villagers demanded that the 15-year-old bridge be raised at the earliest to prevent the problem from recurring.———Gauge Shuklagnj112.400 M*Warning level*–113.m*Danger level*–114.m*Haridwar Barrage*Discharge———110750 cusec*Narora Barrage*Discharge———–83835 cusec——-eom
