Bihar is currently grappling with severe floods, causing widespread chaos and disruption across many districts. Continuous heavy rainfall in Nepal has led to the rivers Koshi and Gandak, among others, swelling beyond their capacity. As a result, water has started entering several villages after the collapse of embankments, further intensifying the situation.
The Koshi and Gandak river barrage releases have significantly worsened the flood situation in Bihar. Low-lying areas in districts like Saharsa and Supaul are completely submerged, with thousands of families displaced. Many roads are cut off, making relief efforts challenging. The floodwater continues to rise, and people are being evacuated to safer locations.
Current Situation and Relief Efforts
Several government agencies are working around the clock to provide relief and rescue operations. Boats and helicopters have been deployed to reach stranded individuals, while temporary shelters and food provisions are being arranged for affected families. The state administration has issued high-alert warnings in vulnerable areas, and relief camps have been set up in safer regions.
The situation is especially dire as water levels are expected to rise further due to the continued downpour in Nepal. Schools and government buildings in flood-hit regions are being used as relief shelters, and rescue operations are in full swing.
Despite these efforts, thousands are still awaiting aid, with many areas cut off due to the flooding. The state government is appealing to citizens to stay calm and cooperate with the authorities as they continue their efforts to mitigate the disaster.
National Weather Update
While Bihar battles severe floods, other parts of the country are experiencing varied weather conditions. Northern India is expected to receive moderate rainfall in the coming days, while parts of southern and western India remain dry and sunny. The monsoon season continues to bring unpredictable weather patterns, causing concern for both urban and rural populations across the country.
