Rising water levels of the Ganga in Munger have inundated low‑lying areas, with Krishna Nagar village in Khadagpur Haveli cut off and residents seeking refuge on rooftops and streets.
The Ganga river has continued to rise in Munger, Bihar, pushing floodwater into the district's lower‑lying localities. In Khadagpur Haveli, the Krishna Nagar village is now surrounded by water, cutting off road access and forcing families to move onto rooftops and main thoroughfares for safety.
Local residents reported that the water entered homes and streets early in the morning, leaving many without basic amenities. Emergency volunteers have been distributing dry blankets and bottled water, while authorities monitor the river’s level for any further escalation.
No official casualty figures have been released, but the situation remains precarious as the water level shows no sign of receding. Officials have urged people in vulnerable zones to stay alert and follow any evacuation instructions that may be issued.
The flood follows a series of heavy rains that have raised the Ganga’s flow across several districts in Bihar, prompting state disaster management teams to remain on high alert.
Authorities continue to assess damage and coordinate relief efforts, emphasizing the need for community cooperation until the river stabilises.
