The rapid rise in water levels in the Bagmati River has caused floodwaters to enter hundreds of houses in 18 panchayats in Bihar's Muzaffarpur. Lakhs of the residents in affected areas have lost contact with the block and district headquarters, causing significant distress.
Water has also risen on both sides of the Pipapul. Many schools in those areas have been filled with floodwater, disrupting the education of hundreds of students.
Water has also entered hundreds of houses in Barri and Basghatta Panchayats. At the same time, there is rapid land erosion happening on the old embankment of the West Bagmati River from Gangia to Bakuchi Chowk.
Katra Circle Officer Madhumita Kumari stated, "We received information that the water level of the Bagmati River has risen. The district administration instructed us to monitor the panchayats. We took stock of 3 panchayats and have arranged 5 boats."
