Flood Devastates Moradabad: Elderly Woman Swept Away in Ganga, Rescue Efforts Fail

Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, is reeling from severe flooding as the Ganga River overflowed, submerging numerous villages and washing away bridges, cutting off connectivity. A tragic incident occurred when 70-year-old Ramvati slipped into the raging Ganga while collecting green fodder for her animals. Villagers working in nearby fields raised an alarm, but despite their efforts and a subsequent search operation by divers, Ramvati remains missing. A police diver team arrived at night but was unable to proceed due to a broken road, hampering rescue efforts. The flooding has caused widespread devastation, with many villages marooned and residents struggling to access basic supplies. The situation remains dire as the Ganga continues to flow above the danger mark, exacerbating the crisis and leaving locals in distress. Authorities are working to restore connectivity and provide relief, but the scale of the disaster poses significant challenges.
