Uttar Pradesh cabinet minister Shivpal Singh Yadav today reviewed relief work in flood-affected areas and warned of tough action against officials showing laxity in reaching relief to those hit by inundation.
"Floods have hit 23 districts of the state and the situation is grim in eight of these. Separate budgetary allocation has been made for the flood-affected districts and Allahabad itself has been allocated Rs 7.5 crore," he said.
He also asked the District Magistrate to take strong action against officials found guilty of dereliction of duty.
Meanwhile, over a dozen residential localities in the city and more than 1000 villages located near Ganga and Yamuna have been submerged for the last 10 days.
