More than two million residents are battling rising waters as the Ganga breaches its red line and the Diara region becomes fully submerged.
The flood situation in Bihar is worsening rapidly, with daily river levels setting fresh records across the state. Over 20 lakh people have been reported as directly affected by the inundation, according to local media.
The Ganga has surged beyond its designated red line in several stretches, allowing water to spill into urban areas. Cities that were previously safe are now experiencing waterlogged streets and disrupted daily life.
In the Diara belt, the impact is most severe; the entire region has been described as completely submerged, leaving residents with no dry ground and forcing many to seek temporary shelter elsewhere.
