Four girls went to fetch household items from a roadside waterlogged area in Husaina Diara village; 14‑year‑old Akanksha Kumari and 21‑year‑old Sapna Kumari drowned.
In Husaina Diara, a village under the Balia police station in Begusarai district of Bihar, four young women entered water‑logged roadside pits to collect household items. While attempting to wade through the deep water, two of them – 14‑year‑old Akanksha Kumari and 21‑year‑old Sapna Kumari – were unable to escape and lost their lives.
The incident highlights the sudden rise in flood levels that has turned ordinary pathways into hazardous water bodies across parts of the district. Local residents reported that the water depth had increased rapidly after recent rains, catching the girls off guard.
The tragedy has plunged the close‑knit community of Husaina Diara into mourning, with neighbours gathering to pay respects and express grief over the loss of two young lives in the flood.
