Heavy rains have caused the Ganga, Kosi and Gandak rivers to swell, prompting widespread flooding across Bihar and displacing thousands of residents.

The flood situation in Bihar remains dire as the Ganga, Kosi and Gandak rivers have surged beyond their banks following continuous heavy rainfall. State disaster officials have declared the region a high‑risk zone and are coordinating rescue teams to reach affected villages.

Roads and bridges across the northern districts are submerged, disrupting transport and hindering the delivery of relief supplies. Agricultural fields, especially in the flood‑prone plains, are under water, threatening the upcoming sowing season.

Authorities have set up temporary shelters in schools and community halls, providing food and medical aid to displaced families. The state government continues to monitor river levels and has appealed for public cooperation in evacuation efforts.
