A late‑night thunderstorm on Friday knocked down large trees on Buxar roads, causing traffic snarls, power cuts and a worsening drinking‑water shortage.
A powerful thunderstorm swept across Buxar late Friday night, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. The gusts uprooted several mature trees, which fell across major thoroughfares and blocked traffic in multiple localities.
The fallen trees forced motorists to seek alternate routes, creating congestion on nearby streets. Emergency services were dispatched to clear the debris, but the scale of the damage delayed normal traffic flow.
Simultaneously, the storm knocked out electricity in several neighbourhoods. The power outage disrupted the operation of water pumps, intensifying an already fragile drinking‑water supply and leaving residents without both light and clean water.
Local authorities have appealed for public patience while crews work to restore power, clear the roads and ensure water distribution resumes as quickly as possible.
