Congress Leaders Urge Prompt Relief Efforts Amid Bihar Floods Affecting Millions
Devastating floods in Bihar have affected nearly 50 lakh people across 15 districts, disrupting daily life in thousands of villages. Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge expressed condolences for the loss of lives and urged the government and administration to ensure prompt relief, rescue, medical aid, and rehabilitation. Gandhi also called on Congress workers to assist affected families. The floods were worsened by heavy rainfall in Nepal's catchment areas and above-normal rainfall in Bihar this September.
