Lucknow: With fresh flood-related deaths reported from across Uttar Pradesh, the death toll in the current wave of floods has gone up to 69. Over 20 lakh people have been hit by the floods in 24 districts of the State.

“The death toll in the floods has reached 69 in the state, where 2,523 villages in 24 districts are flooded affecting a population of over 20 lakh,” the relief commissioner’s office said here citing a flood report compiled till yesterday.

It said 39,783 persons have take shelter at relief camps in the affected districts of eastern UP where there was no let-up in flood fury as raging waters of the rivers emanating from Nepal caused havoc in vast swathes of human habitation.

Reports reaching here said Army choppers, NDRF and PAC (flood) jawans continued relief and rescue operations in the badly hit areas.

Release of water in the rivers emanating from Nepal and incessant rains impeded the rescue work and evacuation of people to safer areas, they said.

About 20 companies of the NDRF, 29 companies of PAC (flood) along with two choppers of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and several columns of the Army personnel were on job to save the lives and properties in the affected areas.
