LUCKNOW: The withdrawal of monsoon from India is likely to start from September 28-29 from Rajasthan and adjoining areas. In UP, the withdrawal is expected to start between October 2-6. However, state will receive light to moderate rains between September 27 and October 2. The rainfall activity remained subdued in UP on Friday. The intensity of rains also came down in Uttarakhand. However, there will be no immediate relief from floods. All major rivers are still on the rise due to heavy rainfall in last few days in the west UP and Uttarakhand.
While flood situation in west and east UP remained grim, surging rivers also inundated several districts in the central UP, including Hardoi, Kanpur and Unnao. River Gomti was on the rise in Lucknow flooding low lying villages and localities in Itaunja, Bakshi Ka Talab and Sitapur road. The total rainfall recorded in the east UP from June 1 till date is 20% below normal but in the west it's 3% above normal. However, in the month of September so far, the west UP received almost the double of normal rainfall set for the period but in eastern parts of the state total rainfall remained 19% below normal.
The weatherman says that conditions are becoming favourable for the withdrawal of monsoon from parts of northwest India, which includes UP. The symptoms of monsoon withdrawal are cessation of rainfall activity over the area for continuous 5 days, creation of anti-cyclone in the lower troposphere and considerable reduction in moisture content in the atmosphere. Withdrawal of monsoon normally starts in the second week of September from India. It leaves UP by October first week. But this year monsoon arrived 30 days behind schedule in mid July, picked up pace in August and it rained heavily in September.
On Friday, many villages of Kanpur and Hardoi were inundated by Ganga which is on the rise due to release of water from Narora Barrage and Tehri Dam in Uttarakhand. The district administrations of both the cities claimed to have made adequate arrangements to tackle flood situation. People have been shifted to safer places. However, people complained about shortage of food and drinking water in the makeshift relief camps. The situation continued to be grim in Agra, Mathura and Baghpat where Yamuna was already flowing above the danger mark and was expected to flood more areas on Saturday and Sunday.
The district authorities in Bijnore, Rampur, Bareilly and Moradabad were taking help of army, provincial arms constabulary and para-military forces to reach out to people marooned in floods.
The National Highway 24 remained closed for the sixth consecutive day due to floods. However, other affected highways were partially opened for the heavy vehicles. A breach in Koteshwar barrage in Bijnore was being repaired. Road links to most villages have damaged, making relief operations difficult even in areas were flood water has receded. Food and vegetable prices have shot up in the flood affected districts.
