Bihar Opens All Sone Barrage Gates as Rivers Rise Above Danger Levels

District administrations have relocated residents from low-lying areas to safer locations. Officials remain on alert, monitoring river levels, inspecting embankments, and stocking essential supplies to address the ongoing flood risk.
