Heavy rains in neighboring states and Nepal have pushed Bihar’s rivers higher, flooding residential areas and causing power outages.
Continuous monsoon showers over Nepal and adjoining Indian states have caused the water levels of Bihar’s rivers to climb steadily. The surge has led to widespread inundation in several districts, with many households reporting that their homes are now partially or fully submerged.
Residents in affected villages describe a scene of rising water engulfing ground floors, while the loss of electricity has plunged many areas into darkness after power lines are damaged or submerged. Local authorities have issued alerts urging people to move to higher ground and to avoid crossing flooded roads.
State disaster management officials are monitoring the situation closely, coordinating relief efforts and deploying rescue teams where needed. They have also warned that further rainfall could exacerbate the flooding, urging citizens to stay vigilant and follow safety advisories.
