The main tourist center Namo Ghat, where the huge structure of Namaste is present, is only a few feet below the water level. If the water level of Ganga rises further, water will reach here as well. The tourists who come to see the Ganga Ghat and the boatmen who provide them boating are facing the brunt of this the most, because due to the flood, a much lesser number of people are reaching the Ghat than before.

At the same time, boatmen are also facing huge losses due to the ban on small paddle boats. If the boatmen believe that this continues, then in the coming days, boat operations will be completely banned and this ban will continue for the next three months due to floods. If the report of the Central Water Commission is to be believed, the water level of the Ganges is about 6 meters below the warning point and 7 meters below the danger mark.
