The Gomti River continued to rise on the 12th day of flooding in Lucknow, prompting a rain alert across 30 districts of Uttar Pradesh, with about 7,000 residents stranded.
The Gomti River kept swelling on the twelfth consecutive day of heavy rains, leading officials to issue a rain alert for thirty districts across Uttar Pradesh. The alert highlights the risk of further water level rise and urges residents to stay vigilant.
In Lucknow, the rising waters have left roughly seven thousand people stranded in low‑lying neighbourhoods and makeshift shelters. Local authorities, supported by the state disaster response force, are conducting rescue operations and distributing relief kits to those affected.
State officials warned that the situation could worsen as monsoon clouds linger, and they have asked district administrations to keep emergency services on standby. Continuous monitoring of the river’s flow will determine whether additional alerts or evacuation orders become necessary.
