Despite a fall in the Ganga’s water level in Munger’s Diara region, residents continue to face floodwater intrusion and riverbank erosion.
The Ganga river recorded a noticeable decline in water level across the Diara stretches of Munger district, according to local observations. While the dip suggests a temporary easing of water pressure, it has not translated into relief for the flood‑prone communities.
In the nearby village of Tikarampur, floodwaters have already surged into the Anganwadi centre, disrupting early‑childhood services and underscoring the persistence of inundation despite the lower river stage. Residents say the water remains shallow but widespread, hampering daily activities.
Further downstream, Kutalpur panchayat is grappling with continuous riverbank erosion that has forced water into several homes. Villagers report that the erosion has accelerated in recent weeks, leaving families anxious about property damage and health risks. Local authorities are monitoring the situation, but no concrete mitigation measures have been announced yet.
