Sudden rise of floods in up

 alarming rise in river water levels in Prayagraj, particularly at the Dasaswamedh Ghat.

A reporter illustrates the severity of the situation by standing in waist-deep water on what are typically dry steps, emphasizing that the stairs and railings are submerged, indicating significant flooding. The most critical concern expressed is the extremely dangerous water flow, which is so forceful it requires holding onto railings for stability. This event is perceived as merely the beginning of the flood, with expectations that water levels will continue to rise in the coming week, making religious rituals difficult or impossible and posing a substantial threat to the area.
