The Birpur and Valmikinagar barrages in Bihar are experiencing record high water discharges, raising concerns of potential flooding in low-lying areas across 14 districts. Heavy rainfall in the catchment areas of rivers in Nepal and Bihar is contributing to the increased water flow, with levels continuing to rise throughout the day. The Kosi river merges with the Ganga river in Katihar district, while the Gandak river flows to the north of Patna, impacting regions in Saran district. To address the situation, the Supaul district administration is urging residents between embankments to evacuate to safer areas. The state's Water Resources Department has issued a high alert to all concerned officials and engineers, canceling leaves and emphasizing the need for vigilance over embankments. The water discharge is expected to peak, potentially reaching levels not seen in decades. Notably, 14 districts have been put on high alert, including Supaul, Saharsa, Khagaria, Bhagalpur, and Katihar, in response to the rising waters.Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj, Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Muzaffarpur, Saran, Vaishali, and Samastipur are affected by the overflowing Gandak river. Additionally, the Bagmati river is also causing significant flood risks for Sitamarhi, Sheohar, and Muzaffarpur districts.
