2,855 villages in UP under water

-PTI

10 more dead; toll mounts to 82

The flood situation in Uttar Pradesh remained alarming on Tuesday with reports of 10 more deaths, taking the toll to 82 in the current wave of floods in the State.

“As many as 2,855 villages in 25 districts are inundated affecting a population of over 22 lakh,” the Relief Commissioner’s office said here, citing a flood report as on Monday.

It said that around 50,000 people had taken shelter in relief camps in eastern U.P. where there was no let-up in flood fury as the raging waters of the rivers emanating in Nepal caused havoc in vast areas.

Army choppers, the NDRF and PAC (flood) jawans continued rescue operations.

Water recedes in Assam

The flood situation in Assam improved further on Tuesday with water receding from human habitations and fields.

No fresh deaths were reported in the State and the toll stood at 70, an Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) report here said. Altogether 11.02 lakh people had been affected by the floods that submerged 9,000 hectares of fields, the report said.
