Heavy rains in Bihar’s Bagaha‑Supaul region have caused 8 rivers to overflow, leading to the closure of more than 10 schools and damage to 2,405 km of roads.
Heavy rainfall over the past week has inundated the Bagaha and Supaul districts of Bihar, causing several rivers to breach their banks. The floods have forced the closure of more than ten schools in the affected areas, disrupting education for thousands of students.
Local authorities report that eight rivers in the region have overflowed, and the damage to infrastructure is extensive. Approximately 2,405 kilometres of roads have been reported as damaged or impassable, hampering relief efforts and daily commutes.
The Bihar government has deployed emergency teams to clear debris and restore essential services. School officials are working with parents to arrange alternative learning arrangements until the floodwaters recede.
Residents in the flood‑hit villages are awaiting further instructions from state officials regarding safe evacuation routes and the reopening of schools.
