After four days of relief, the Ganga rose to 38.56 metres in Munger early Wednesday, surpassing the 38.33‑metre warning level and endangering more than 30 houses due to riverbank erosion.
The Ganga River in Munger district began rising again on Wednesday morning, with the water level recorded at 38.56 metres at 6 a.m., according to the state water board. This reading is 23 centimetres above the established warning threshold of 38.33 metres.
The surge has triggered concerns for more than thirty houses situated along the riverbank, where ongoing erosion threatens to undermine foundations and cause displacement. Local officials have warned residents to remain vigilant and have advised that any signs of structural damage be reported immediately.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, keeping the district disaster management team on standby and issuing regular updates to the public as the river’s flow evolves.
