Authorities in Uttar Pradesh are on high alert as several major rivers, such as the Saryu, Ken, Yamuna, and Chambal, exceed danger levels due to persistent rainfall and dam water release, officials reported on Friday.

Rescue and relief operations have been deployed in districts like Ayodhya, Banda, and Etawah, with alerts issued for low-lying areas at risk of flooding.

Efforts include distribution of essentials and establishing relief camps to aid affected communities, while teams ensure safety and provide medical support in inundated regions, administrative officials confirmed.
