Incessant rain and flood disrupt life in northern India
Constant rainfall caused widespread floods in many Northern Indian states, and disturbed every day and damaged infrastructure. The rivers are outside the danger level, swelling beyond roads, farms and residential areas. Thousands of people who want to shelter in temporary relief camps created by local authorities have been displaced. Transport networks, including highways and railways, have been affected, while electric power outages and water stops interfere with urban areas. The rescue teams with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been deployed to leave the stranded inhabitants and provide the necessary supply. Officials have issued weather forecasts, encouraged people to flee from flood -exposed areas. Continuous decline has also expressed concern for landslides in mountain regions. The loss of agriculture is increasing, which further affects farmers' livelihoods. When the auxiliary operations are intensified, the state authorities coordinate to reduce damage to central agencies and to ensure public security in the midst of the ongoing crisis.
