Varanasi: Even though the surface of the Ganga water began to fall on Friday, the river still flowed 1 m above the danger sign (71,262m) in Varanasi.
The flood situation was bleak in Ballia, where the river flowed 2.55 m above the danger, and Ghazipur, where Ganga flowed 1.59 m above the danger sign.
According to the flood bulletin in the Middle Ganga-III division of the Central Air Commission (CWC), the flooded Ganga flowed at a sign of 72.26 m at 8 am in Varanasi, where the trend increased on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the operation of aid by the regional government continued.
During his visit to the city on Thursday, the chairman of Yogi Adityanath’s Minister also examined several aid camps after making the round of the flood-affected area.
CM on Thursday afternoon took stock of floods caused by Ganga and Varuna by the tributary by the NDRF ship.
He has convinced the people affected by the flood that his government is committed to expanding all possible assistance, and asks district officials not to let each stone missed in ensuring the assistance needed for flood-affected people.
