Ghazipur News: After heavy rains in Ghazipur, UP, the Ganges has flooded, which has badly affected normal life. At the same time, people have to go to the fields using stairs.

Till now, during the floods of Ganga, people must have been seen using boats to reach their homes or farms, but for the first time in Ghazipur, people are seen using stairs to reach their homes or farms. The matter is of Kotwa Lattudih road of Bhanwarkol block where the construction of a culvert was going on for the last several days.

But the work had been stopped for several months and an alternative route was built by the concerned department for travelling on this route but in the floods of Magai the road either got washed away or got submerged due to which now people have to climb the culvert using a ladder to go to their homes and fields and then they climb down the culvert by climbing a ladder on the other side and proceed towards their destination.

There has been a flood in the Ganges for a long time 

Let us tell you that the flood of Ganga was there in Ghazipur district for many days, but the water level of Ganga is decreasing since last week, but The water level of the tributary river Magai river is still high and this river has affected many villages of Bhavarkol block, one such route which connects Kotwa Narayanpur and Bihar via Latthudih to Kotwa.

Its length is about 17 kilometers and there was only one way to go through it but due to the construction of a culvert, the implementing agency had made an alternate route for the villagers on which everything was going well but due to the rise in the water level of the Magai river, that alternate route also got submerged due to which now people are forced to reach their village and homes with the help of stairs.

There's water everywhere

In such a situation, the fields on both sides of the culvert are filled with water and with the help of this ladder, old people, children and young people are coming and going, not only this, they are carrying the load of grass or crops on their heads and walking on the ladder, in such a situation, if any accident happens, then who will be responsible for this because till now no officer of the concerned department or district administration has taken cognizance of this matter.

When the Additional District Officer and Disaster Management In-charge Dinesh Kumar was talked to on this matter, he said that such a case has come to his notice, however, the alternate route is still filled with water and as soon as the water level subsides, an attempt will be made to make an alternate route once again.
