In an unusual development, heavy rains have caused severe flooding in the area, leading to makeshift boating by people in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh.

The incident took place in Bahraich city and the video went viral on July 5.

Visuals showed a young man rowing through the floodwaters on a long wooden board. The situation is so dire that people can’t even walk; they must travel on boards like this.

The downpour resulted in waterlogging within the hospital premises, making it difficult for patients and staff to navigate the facility.

The incident highlights the severe impact of monsoon rains on infrastructure in some parts of India, particularly in regions where drainage systems are inadequate. The local government has assured residents that efforts are underway to address the flooding and improve the hospital’s infrastructure to prevent such occurrences in the future.
