CM Yogi Announces Embankment Project From Faizullaganj to Naimish to Curb Flooding
The plan includes pumping trapped rainwater and fast-tracking funds to curb repeated flooding across low-lying neighborhoods.
- On Monday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath conducted an aerial survey from Faizullaganj to Naimish before visiting Bakshi Ka Talab to distribute relief materials to displaced flood victims.
- Heavy rainfall over ten days affected more than 50 districts, causing the Gomti River to swell; water from Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, and Nepal flowed downstream, raising water levels and inundating low-lying areas.
- The administration deployed boats and established relief camps, providing each family with 10 kg of rice, 10 kg of flour, 10 kg of potatoes, 2 kg of arhar daal, and one litre of oil.
- Noting the 'Green Corridor' constructed by the Lucknow Development Authority as a safety model, the Chief Minister ordered the Irrigation Department to survey the riverbank for a new embankment.
- Assuring victims that the 'double-engine government' stands with them, the Chief Minister announced ₹4 lakh financial assistance for families of those who died and pledged to expedite the embankment project to prevent future flooding.
