Heavy flooding continues in Bihar even though recent rains have been below normal, and officials say the situation is unrelated to water flow from Nepal.
The state of Bihar remains under flood conditions despite a spell of light rainfall that fell short of the seasonal average. Government agencies have inspected the river basins and confirmed that the excess water is not a result of inflow from Nepal, countering earlier speculation.
Local authorities are focusing on relief measures, deploying rescue teams and setting up temporary shelters for affected families. While the rains have been insufficient to trigger typical monsoon flooding, the already saturated ground and breached embankments have kept water levels high.
Officials urge residents to stay vigilant, follow safety advisories, and cooperate with relief operations as they work to drain water and restore normalcy across the affected districts.
