Bihar CM Monitors Floods as Gandak River Records Peak Discharge at Valmikinagar
Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary monitored the flood situation in East Champaran, Gopalganj, and surrounding districts as the Gandak River recorded a peak discharge of 543,500 cusecs at Valmikinagar. He reviewed water levels, embankment conditions, and night patrolling, directing officials to stay alert. While the Gandak's discharge showed a falling trend, rivers like Kosi and Sone recorded rising levels. Heavy rainfall in Nepal and Bihar has caused flooding in low-lying areas, affecting thousands in multiple districts.
