During flood relief operations in Mohiuddin Nagar, a boat became trapped in dense forest while attempting to reach affected hamlets.
A relief boat was stranded in a thick forest while trying to reach flood‑affected villages in Mohiuddin Nagar, Samastipur district, on Thursday. The incident highlighted the severe logistical challenges faced by rescue teams amid rising water levels.
The affected hamlets are situated in low‑lying areas that have been submerged for several days. Residents are cut off from essential supplies, and the dense vegetation around the riverbanks has made navigation difficult.
Local authorities have dispatched additional boats and a helicopter to assist the stranded crew. The Samastipur district administration has urged residents to stay indoors and has set up temporary shelters for those displaced.
Officials say the boat’s entrapment is a reminder of the need for better flood preparedness and infrastructure in the region. They are reviewing routes and reinforcing bridges to prevent similar incidents in the future.
