Heavy flooding in northern India's Uttar Pradesh state has claimed at least 83 lives after three days of intense rainfall, according to officials. The state government reported 62 fatalities and over 1,000 homes severely damaged. More than 46 people were injured, while schools in areas such as the capital Lucknow were briefly closed.
Rescue teams evacuated residents from flooded neighborhoods, advising people to steer clear of non-essential travel in waterlogged regions and dangerous fast-flowing rivers. Senior meteorologist Atul Kumar Singh stated that rainfall is expected to subside by Monday, with light rain possible in eastern and western Uttar Pradesh for another one to two days.
In Odisha, more than 75,000 people were relocated to safer areas due to flooding. In neighboring Nepal, 21 people died and five remained missing amidst weather-related incidents between September 24 and 27. Five were injured, and flood and landslides destroyed 194 homes. Nepal continues to grapple with the aftermath of devastating floods in August that claimed over 1,400 lives and left nearly 6,000 people missing, with search operations ongoing.
