Gandak River Breaches Embankments in Bihar, Flooding Several Districts After Nepal Rains
Heavy rainfall in Nepal has caused the Gandak River in Bihar to reach a record level of 91.25 metres, breaching embankments in West Champaran and Gopalganj districts. This has led to flooding in several villages, disrupting transport and threatening low-lying areas. Authorities, including Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, are monitoring the situation and conducting flood-control measures. Emergency teams are repairing damaged embankments amid sustained high water discharge from barrages, while other rivers like Kosi and Bagmati also face flood risks.
