Prasagraj: With the surface of the water from Ganga and Yamuna now under the danger of 84.73m, the good news is for residents who are trapped in areas flooded with flood water and district administration.
The rivers will then recede at a much faster speed.
However, many people in flood assistance camps are reluctant to return to their homes, afraid of increasing water levels.
After flowing above the danger level (84.73m) for about ten days, the two rivers have receded underneath in all three district measurement points.
Flood water has also resigned in rural areas, providing relief to thousands of villagers and livestock that have been sheltered in relief camps.
The ganga level (as recorded at 16:00 Saturday) at Phaphamau is 83.96m, and in Chhatnag, it is recorded as 83.04m.
In Naini, Yamuna flowed at 83.72m, which was far below the danger level.
Ganga recedes at a speed of 7cm per hour at Phaphamau and 5cm per hour in Chhatnag.
Likewise, Yamuna in Naini recedes at a speed of 6cm per hour.
Flood water reduced in several areas of the city, including Chota Baghara, Bara Baghara, Bakshi Khurd, Sadiabad, Shivkuti, Gaku, Salori, Karelabagh, Daragunj, Nagvasi and Harshvardhan Nagar.
Many areas, which previously can only be approached only by boat, can now be achieved with cycles or even by walking.
While some people start returning to their homes, other people who are still in camp provide important items for those who choose to live back at home, mostly to keep their belongings.
“In our territory, while the family has shifted to help camps, it is a student’s responsibility like us to look after the items.
But now because of the lowuting water, many people will return,” said Rajesh Patel, a student in the Chota area Baghara.
Meanwhile, water backwards leave a trail of damage caused by it.
Piles of garbage, lanau, thick rotten vegetation, dirt, waste and plastic everything is left on the road and the area from which water has receded.
District administration states that a big boost to clean the area will be taken even though the task becomes Mammoth.
“Cleaning work has begun in the area,” said Pro of Prayagraj Municipal Corporation, PK Mishra.
