Ramganga and Bahgul flooding disrupts villages in Shahjahanpur

Rising water levels in the Ramganga and Bahgul rivers are threatening coastal villages in Shahjahanpur, compounding distress from three days of heavy rain that has already submerged hundreds of acres of crops. The flooding has severely impacted over a dozen villages, including Kasari Khurd, Kasari Kalan, Baldevpur, and Tera, where standing crops like sesame and peanuts are ruined, and residents face shortages of animal fodder. Despite the Sunday holiday, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate conducted a survey of affected villages to assess crop damage and has directed officials to feed the data online.
