Uttar Pradesh: Villagers airlifted after flood water rises

At least 16 people died and 12 were injured in rain-related incidents in Uttar Pradesh, where authorities had to take IAF help to airlift marooned villagers on Sunday, even as the Met office predicted more rains throughout the state over the next two days. The IAF personnel rescued 14 people stranded in Lalitpur and Jhansi districts, drawing praise from Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
