Answer: Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh
Notes: An artificial lake in the Saryu River poses a significant threat as draining attempts have failed for two days. The Saryu River, also known as Sarayu or Sarju, flows through Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. It is historically significant, mentioned in the Vedas and Ramayana, with Ayodhya, Lord Rama's birthplace, on its banks. Originating from the Himalayas, it flows into the Sharada River at Pancheshwar, which then merges with the Ghaghara River.
