Monsoon Waterlogging in Agra Increases Risk of Seasonal Diseases
IN · Published Oct 10, 2026
• Agra is experiencing seasonal waterlogging during the monsoon, particularly in areas such as Tajganj, Shahganj, and the older walled-city lanes.
• This has led to a rise in waterborne and mosquito-borne diseases, including typhoid, hepatitis A, and dengue.

Impact & Risks

The seasonal rise in diseases poses significant health risks to residents, especially those in flood-prone areas. Vulnerable groups include individuals with pre-existing health conditions, travellers returning from endemic areas, and caregivers of infected individuals. The increased prevalence of typhoid, hepatitis A, and dengue can lead to severe health complications if not promptly diagnosed and treated. The situation also places additional strain on local healthcare facilities.
