Torrential rains across Uttar Pradesh have caused widespread flooding, leading to 13 fatalities and significant crop damage.
Heavy rainfall has battered Uttar Pradesh, turning rivers into raging torrents and inundating low‑lying areas. The deluge has already claimed 13 lives in several districts, with residents trapped by sudden floods and waterlogged roads.
The swollen rivers have devastated agricultural fields, washing away seedlings and destroying mature crops. Farmers report that entire paddy and wheat plots have been submerged, leaving them with little harvest for the season.
State authorities have deployed emergency teams and set up relief camps for affected families. The government has also announced a compensation scheme for crop losses and is working with local agencies to restore drainage and prevent further damage.
