Pilibhit
The torrential rains in Pilibhit district of Uttar Pradesh completely derailed life. In view of the continuous rains in the district and the condition of waterlogging in schools, all the council primary, upper primary, aided schools and schools from all boards have been closed on 6 August and 7 August. This decision was taken on the instructions of the District Magistrate, so that the safety of children can be ensured.
The city’s roads, colonies and markets have become full of water. The rain water entered inside the houses, causing people to be imprisoned in their own homes. Many areas including Main Market, Station Road, Rajbagh Colony have been flooded. The lack of cleaning of the drains and the incomplete drain construction has worsened the situation. Relief work has been started by the city administration, but due to lack of rapid drainage, the situation is still visible out of control.
