UP making efforts to find permanent solution to flood problem: Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said the state was making an effort to find a permanent solution to the state's flood problem that causes huge loss of lives and property every year. "Till a few years ago, 38 districts of Uttar Pradesh were affected by floods every year. Today, it has been reduced to only four districts," he said. Discussing the efforts behind the success, Adityanath said when he took over as chief minister in 2017, he received a Rs 100-crore expenditure bill related to the Elgin Bridge in Barabanki, adding that such a huge expense was incurred every year for flood control at just one place. Adityanath added that he then inspected the site and decided to channelise the river by dredging it. This resulted in controlling the flood problem in Bahraich, Gonda and Barabanki districts with the government, instead of incurring an expenditure of Rs 100 crore, spending only Rs 5 crore, he said. Adityanath was speaking at the third edition of the ..
