Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that no government official would be granted leave in view of incessant rain, which has claimed 93 lives since Thursday.

According to a government report, 14 persons lost their lives on Sunday and 25 on Saturday while 54 had died earlier in two days.

“Immediate provisions should be made to pump out water from the flooded areas and relief material should be provided to people affected by the flood. In view of the incessant rain, no official will be granted leave,” a government statement said quoting Adityanath.

He said relief work should be accelerated, ensuring no shortage of food material in the flood-affected areas.

The chief minister said that affected families should be given immediately the financial assistance in case of the death of kin.

The officials have also been directed to undertake tour of their districts and make necessary arrangements on the spot to tackle any emergency situation, the statement said.
