Uttar Pradesh rains: 26 teams of NDRF and SDRF have been pressed into action while food packets are being distributed in the flooded areas.

One person has died in floods that have affected nearly 2.4 lakh people in over 1,000 villages of Uttar Pradesh's 22 districts, officials said on Tuesday. According to them, of the 1,079 flood-affected villages, 153 have been cut off from the rest of the state.

As many as 347 shelter homes have been built in the flood-affected districts where around 21,000 people are staying, sources in the relief commissioner's office said. They said 26 teams of NDRF and SDRF have been pressed into action while food packets are being distributed in the flooded areas.

So far, 2,44,279 people have been affected by floods in Uttar Pradesh, according to the relief commissioner's report. The rising water level of the Ganga and Varuna rivers has submerged parts of Varanasi including its famous ghats, forcing the cremation of bodies brought to the Harishchandra and Manikarnika ghats in nearby streets and on terraces.
