The floodwater has also reached landmarks on the Yamuna bank, including the Atal Bihari Vajpayee statue at Prerna Sthal and the historic Baradari at Baluaghat.
In Jhunsi, children were seen jumping into floodwater from rooftops, an act the administration says is dangerous.
Officials are advising people to stay away from floodwater and are monitoring the situation.
