In Uttar Pradesh, ?the ?flood situation continues to remain grim as ?the number of people affected in nearly a dozen districts of the state has reached over a million in over 1,?200 villages. With nine more deaths in flood-related incidents in the last 24 hours, the toll in the floods touched 89? ?yesterday.? Official sources said that while a death was reported from the worst-affected district of Bahraich, where a total of 33 persons have died in the disaster so far, six more persons lost their lives in Balrampur. Gonda and Lakhimpur Kheri districts reported a death each. ? ?Meanwhile, the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh ?is scheduled to visit Gorakhpur ?today to review the flood situation in ?the state. ?He is likely to make an aerial survey of the flood-affected districts of Balrampur, Bahraich, Gonda, Basti and Siddharthnagar.? The Home Minister will later hold a meeting with senior officers of the state administration. Our Lucknow correspondent reports that with barely three weeks ??left for the September 13 bypoll ?for Balha and Nighasan Vidhan Sabha seats which fall in flood affected areas, the Election Commission as well as the administration are facing the challenge of organising ?it. Among other belongings, villagers have lost their voter identity cards too.? Meanwhile the BJP has demanded a postponement of the bypolls in the flood affected areas for the same reason. Most of the flood-affected people are quite angry with the apathetic attitude of the administration towards their plight. Some of them have given a call to boycott the upcoming elections.
