Rise in Ganga, Yamuna water level leads to flooding in Prayagraj

Residents in low-lying areas in and around Prayagraj city say they are suffering hardships due to flooding caused by the continuous rise of water level of Ganga and Yamuna rivers.
Residents here said they are forced to wade through knee-deep water in order to reach from one place to another in the flood-affected region.
"This is a low-lying area and every two years there is a flooding situation here. The administration never cares about us and we bear the situation by ourselves," a local, Mohammad Ahmed Khan said.
