Residents Stranded as Yamuna River Floods Rise

Residents Stranded as Yamuna River Floods Rise

Flood-affected residents of a low-lying area stand on their rooftop on the banks of the Yamuna River in Prayagraj, India, on August 3, 2025, as water levels rise following continuous monsoon rains. The annual monsoon season brings critical rainfall to northern India, but also triggers frequent flooding, especially in vulnerable low-lying regions. Rising river levels force families to seek shelter on rooftops or evacuate their homes. The floods disrupt daily life, damage property, and pose health risks due to waterborne diseases and lack of clean water. Local authorities often struggle to provide timely relief and evacuation assistance. Scenes like this reflect the ongoing challenges of climate vulnerability and urban planning in flood-prone zones, highlighting the human cost of extreme weather patterns intensified by climate change.

Flood Forces Cremations to Higher Ground

Flood Forces Cremations to Higher Ground

People carry out last rites along a path and row of houses situated further uphill from the actual cremation spot due to flooding caused by the rising water level of the Ganges River in Daraganj Ghat in Prayagraj, India, on August 3, 2025. Monsoon rains have led to surging river levels, forcing local residents to adapt critical religious and cultural rituals to higher ground. The Ganges, considered sacred by millions of Hindus, is a traditional site for cremations, especially at ghats like Daraganj. As flooding submerges the usual cremation areas, mourners continue to perform final rites in improvised locations, preserving centuries-old customs despite the natural disruption.

Train Crosses Yamuna Bridge Amid Rising Waters

Train Crosses Yamuna Bridge Amid Rising Waters

A passenger train crosses the old Yamuna Bridge over the Yamuna River in Prayagraj, India, on August 3, 2025, as water levels rise following intense monsoon rains. The annual monsoon season brings both critical rainfall and recurring threats of flooding to northern India. As river levels swell, vital infrastructure such as bridges and railway lines come under increased strain. Despite the rising water, train services continue to operate, highlighting the region’s reliance on rail transport for daily commuting and economic activity. The swollen river beneath the historic bridge creates a dramatic visual contrast, underscoring the intersection of resilience, risk, and infrastructure in flood-prone areas. Authorities remain on alert as continued rainfall poses a threat to low-lying neighborhoods and transport systems across the region. Photo by Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

Boatmen Navigate Flooded Yamuna Riverbank

Boatmen Navigate Flooded Yamuna Riverbank

Boatmen row a boat near a partially submerged helipad on the banks of the Yamuna River in Prayagraj, India, on August 3, 2025, as water levels rise following days of heavy monsoon rains. Seasonal flooding along India's major rivers often disrupts infrastructure, submerges roads and low-lying areas, and forces local residents to adapt their routines. The partially flooded helipad illustrates the extent of the overflow, as water encroaches upon critical infrastructure. Small boats become an essential mode of transport and livelihood for those living along the riverbanks. The image reflects the resilience of communities in flood-prone regions, where annual monsoon patterns bring both vital water resources and the looming threat of displacement or property loss.

Monsoon Floods Force Evacuations in Prayagraj - India

Flood-affected residents of a low-lying area move their belongings to a safer place on the banks of the river Ganges following heavy monsoon rains in Prayagraj, India, on August 1, 2025. Seasonal downpours have caused the river to swell beyond its banks, inundating homes and disrupting daily life in several neighborhoods. Families wade through knee-deep water carrying essential items, while others transport household goods using makeshift rafts or carts. The annual monsoon, though vital for agriculture, often brings displacement and damage in flood-prone regions, exposing gaps in infrastructure and emergency preparedness. In Prayagraj, residents of informal settlements and riverside areas face particular vulnerability as rising waters threaten homes and livelihoods. Local authorities issue alerts as water levels continue to rise, prompting precautionary evacuations along low-lying zones near the Ganges. Photo by Sanjay Kanojia/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

A 238-km section of the Sichuan-Qinghai railway in western China became operational on Tuesday after 12 years of construction. The railway crosses the rugged, earthquake-prone plateau region in northwest Sichuan, and takes a detour to avoid disturbing the Giant Panda National Park. The Sichuan-Qinghai railway will eventually stretch northwestward to Xining, the capital city of Qinghai Province. Upon completion of the whole project, the new rail line will connect the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the highest plateau in the world, into the massive high-speed transport network of China, which sets to put the region's development on fast track.
