Intermittent rain over the past 24 hours has caused waterlogging in several districts of Bihar, prompting alerts and raising concerns as the Ganga approaches flood levels, with Patna seeing continuous morning showers.
Rainfall has persisted intermittently across Bihar for the last day, leading the state meteorological department to issue weather alerts for multiple districts. The warnings highlight the potential for localized flooding as the downpour continues.
In Patna, showers began early this morning and have remained steady, causing water to accumulate on roads and low‑lying areas. Similar water‑logging reports have emerged from other districts, though officials have not disclosed exact numbers.
The Ganga River, flowing through the region, is reported to be swelling toward flood‑prone levels. Authorities are monitoring the river closely and have advised residents in vulnerable zones to stay alert and avoid unnecessary travel.
Local officials recommend that commuters use alternative routes where possible and that households secure valuables against water damage. The situation will be reassessed as the weather pattern evolves.
