UP floods: Varanasi lanes waterlogged, Chitrakoot reels under rising Mandakini
Heavy rains have caused educational institutions to close in Lakhimpur. Varanasi's ghats are inundated, forcing cremations onto rooftops and bylanes. The Mandakini river in Chitrakoot is flowing significantly above its danger mark. Train services are disrupted in Lakhimpur due to rising river levels. Affected populations are being evacuated to safer locations and relief camps.
