District authorities have issued fresh flood alert in over a dozen villages here after excessive water was discharged from Tajewala barrage in Haryana into Yamuna river following heavy rains.

Officials have alerted the flood outposts in Dund Khera, Sehpat, Mawi, Haiderpur, Ramda, Nagla Rai, Mandawar, Baseda, Belhera, Choutra, Fatehpur, Bidoli, Manglora, Udeypur and Bhadi villages.

Meanwhile, 1.25 lakh cusec of water has been released in the river Ganga following about a dozen villages, mostly in Patiali and Soron regions, in Etah district have submerged.

Residents of Samarpur, Bhusavali and some other villages are moving to safer places due to the threat posed by the water.

The excessive water has also damaged crops in many villages, including Nagla Hansi, Nagla Narpat, Nagla Heera, Nagla Shambhoo, Nardoli, Nagaria and Kadasgav.

Though villagers allege district authorities have not been listening to their problems, Sub Divisional Magistrate, Mr Satyapal Singh, maintained that appropriate arrangements are being made to protect villagers and directions in this regard have been issued to tehsildars.
