Record-breaking water discharge through the Birpur barrage on the Kosi river in Supaul and the Valmikinagar barrage on the Gandak river in West Champaran has sparked flood concerns in 14 districts. Heavy rainfall in the catchment areas of north Bihar rivers in Nepal, as well as locally, are the primary causes. Water levels at the Barrages have been rapidly rising, prompting authorities to issue high alerts and cancel leaves for officials. Residents in low-lying areas are being urged to evacuate to higher ground as a precautionary measure. The Birpur barrage is expected to reach a discharge level not seen in decades, while the Valmikinagar barrage is approaching a two-decade high. The Kosi river joins the Ganga river at Kursela in Katihar district, while the Gandak river flows north of Patna, affecting multiple districts.Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj, Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Muzaffarpur, Saran, Vaishali, and Samastipur are experiencing flooding from the overflowing Gandak river. Additionally, the Bagmati river is also causing significant flood risks for the districts of Sitamarhi, Sheohar, and Muzaffarpur.
