Monsoon Fury in North & Central India: Floods, Rescue Ops, and Survival Struggles Across States | ABP NEWS

Monsoon rains continue to wreak havoc across North and Central India, leaving behind a trail of destruction, desperation, and heroic survival. In Madhya Pradesh’s Shivpuri, a heart-wrenching video showed a helpless mother crossing the flooded Sindh river on a tube with her sick child—highlighting the grim state of rural connectivity and healthcare access during floods. In Guna, heavy rains have flooded villages, bringing fish onto roads and prompting residents to use umbrellas to catch them. Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj and Varanasi are facing rising Ganga and Yamuna water levels. Drone visuals from Prayagraj reveal completely submerged ghats and silent boats—replacing the usual pilgrim crowd. In Jhansi’s Pachwai village, 1,500 residents are trapped due to rising water levels and lack of proper evacuation facilities. Rajasthan’s Ajmer VIP colonies remain waterlogged for days, forcing residents to fetch drinking water through waist-deep floodwaters. In Varanasi, a crocodile entered the Jal Police office area, triggering panic before forest teams rescued it. Rescue teams from NDRF and SDRF are on alert across flood-hit areas, but with rising water levels and poor infrastructure, help remains inadequate. The visuals show that for many, this monsoon is more than just rain—it’s a fight for survival.
