**Chandauli Faces Imminent Flood Threat as Ganga River Swells**
**Chandauli, [Date]** – The Ganga River is rapidly rising in Chandauli, triggering flood alerts and forcing residents of low-lying villages to evacuate. The water level is currently one meter below the warning mark and steadily increasing.
The Chandauli administration has moved into alert mode, initiating preparations to manage the anticipated flooding. The rising waters have already inundated agricultural lands in the Chahaniya area, impacting villages including Bhupauli, Derwa, and Mahdaura, among others. Farmers are anxious as hundreds of acres of crops, including vegetables, millet, and fodder, have been submerged. Land erosion is also a major concern.
In the Tandakala region, villagers are particularly worried about a quick rising water level, fearing that the water will soon enter their homes. Steps leading down to the river are already submerged, and water is nearing the Ghatwari Mata Temple.
Residents of riverside settlements in villages like Mahuar Kala, Gangapur, and Hardhan Jura have started packing their belongings and preparing to move to higher ground.
Despite the danger, some young people were seen swimming in the Ganga from Rajghat Bridge. The administration has prohibited boat operations on the river.
