Yamuna and Ganga Rivers Continue to Swell in Prayagraj
IN · Published Sep 29, 2026
• The water levels of the Yamuna and Ganga rivers in Prayagraj have been rising for the third consecutive day due to the release of floodwaters from rivers in Madhya Pradesh.
• As of Monday, the Yamuna at Naini recorded a level of 80.41 m, while the Ganga at Phaphamau and Chhatnag stood at 79.74 m and 80.06 m, respectively.

Impact & Risks

The rising water levels pose a potential risk to low-lying areas in Prayagraj, though the rivers are currently below the danger mark. The situation could escalate if water levels continue to rise, potentially leading to flooding in vulnerable areas. The discharge of floodwaters from the Ken and Betwa rivers has contributed to the increase, and further rainfall in the region could exacerbate the situation.
