Continuous rains in neighboring regions have pushed river levels in Bihar higher, prompting the state government to issue a high alert for eight districts where houses are being flooded and power outages have caused darkness.
The Bihar government has placed eight districts under a high alert as river levels continue to climb, driven by persistent rainfall in adjacent states and across the border. Authorities say the rising waters are threatening residential areas across the affected districts.
In several localities, floodwaters have already entered homes, forcing families to evacuate and seek temporary shelter. The inundation has also disrupted electricity supply, leaving many neighborhoods in darkness during the night.
While the initial impact of the Nepal‑originating floods has lessened, the ongoing downpours in neighboring regions are sustaining the high water levels in Bihar's rivers, keeping the situation volatile.
State officials are monitoring the situation closely and have urged residents to remain vigilant, follow safety advisories, and cooperate with relief teams as the flood season progresses.
