The Ganges River has receded in Varanasi, and silt has increased the problem: 84 ghats have been disconnected. An SP leader protested against waterlogging in Maruti Nagar.

Following the continuous rise in water levels of the Ganges River, the water has now started to recede slowly, but the impact of the floods is not yet fully gone. With the decrease in water level, the mud and silt accumulated on the ghats of Varanasi have become a new problem for people. In Kashi, the city of religion and spirituality, a large number of tourists from across the country and abroad visit the ghats, but they face significant difficulties due to the silt, dirt, and slippery conditions accumulated on the ghats.
