At least 56 people have died in the past three days as continuous heavy rain battered Uttar Pradesh, with more than a thousand houses reported damaged.
Uttar Pradesh has been hit by relentless heavy rainfall over the last three days, resulting in a death toll that has risen to 56, according to official sources. The floods have swept away roads, isolated villages and caused widespread panic among residents.
State disaster management officials reported that more than 1,000 homes have suffered structural damage, leaving thousands of families displaced. Relief teams have been deployed to the most affected districts, distributing food, clean water and temporary shelter.
Local authorities are urging people to avoid low‑lying areas and to cooperate with rescue operations. The monsoon department has warned that the weather pattern may persist, and further advisories will be issued as the situation evolves.
The central government has approved emergency funds to support the relief effort, and NGOs are mobilising volunteers to assist with evacuation and medical aid.
As the rains continue, the focus remains on preventing additional casualties and restoring basic services to the hardest‑hit communities.
