Rain Wreaks Havoc in Prayagraj; Akhilesh Challenges Government: ‘Don’t Just Talk from the Air—Hit the Streets If You Have the Guts’

Desk: Continuous rainfall over the past three to four days has compounded difficulties for Prayagraj. Roads and lanes in several areas—including George Town, Kareli, Daraganj, and Alopibagh—are submerged, with water even entering many homes. The situation has also sparked a political row, with SP chief Akhilesh Yadav targeting the government and questioning the crores of rupees spent on development projects. Meanwhile, the administration claims that relief and rescue operations are proceeding on a war footing, with officials, teams, and machinery deployed in the affected areas.
