Meanwhile, a report from Shahjahanpur said that flood water entered the city due to the swelling of Khannaut and Garra rivers. Suddenly water started entering people’s houses on Tuesday night and by morning people were surrounded by flood water. About 10,000 people from 20 to 25 localities have been affected.
The administration sought help from the army, following which 200 soldiers of the Madras Regiment got engaged in relief work. People trapped in the flood were rescued by the army personnel through motorboats.
There is water inside the Government Medical College. However, services have not been disrupted yet. Due to rising water of Khannaut river, the traffic of heavy vehicles has been stopped from the old bridge located on Palia Highway.
