Villagers in Gaspur Panchayat near the post office caught three deer fawns drifting in flood‑raised Gandak waters and alerted the forest department, which carried out the rescue.
The rising level of the Gandak River in Muzaffarpur's Paroo block sent floodwater into nearby habitations, carrying three young deer downstream. Near the post office in Gaspur Panchayat, the fawns were seen floating in the water. Local residents quickly seized the animals and reported the incident to the district forest department.
Forest officials arrived at the scene and coordinated the safe removal of the fawns from the flood‑affected area. The rescued deer are being taken to a nearby forest facility for medical assessment and care.
The incident highlights the collateral impact of seasonal flooding on wildlife in Bihar and the prompt response of both villagers and authorities to protect vulnerable animals.
