Rising waters of the Kosi River have inundated Kevatgama, Kola Toka and Harnahi panchayats in Darbhanga district, forcing locals to travel 25 kilometres for livestock feed.
The Kosi River has surged in Darbhanga district, Bihar, submerging three villages – Kevatgama, Kola Toka and Harnahi – in the Kushehwarsthan East block. The rapid rise in water level has turned the low‑lying areas of these panchayats into waterlogged zones, disrupting daily life for residents.
With their fields and grazing lands underwater, villagers are compelled to travel about 25 kilometres to locate suitable fodder for their livestock. The long trek underscores the strain on agricultural and animal‑rearing activities that form the backbone of the local economy.
Local authorities are monitoring the situation and have advised residents to avoid further exposure to flood‑prone zones while relief efforts are being coordinated. The community continues to grapple with the immediate challenges posed by the flood.
