All major rivers in the state were rising menacingly with some crossing the red mark following incessant rains, official sources said.
Fifteen people, including four girls and a 65-year-old woman, were killed in separate incidents of house collapse in Sultanpur, Kaushambi, Pratapgarh and Allahabad districts.
One rain-related death each was reported from Fatehpur, Ambedkarnagar, Unnao, Gonda, Barabanki, Amethi and Deoria, the sources said.
A number of heads of cattle also perished in widespread rains which submerged low-lying areas in several districts raising fears of water-borne diseases.
Traffic snarls were also reported in many areas, the sources said.
