Flood situation in Bihar grim

According to a Samastipur report, more than 70 fresh villages were inundated following a rise in the water level of the rivers like Kosi, Kamala Balan and Gandak. The district administration has asked the affected villagers to take shelter at nearby safer places.

The Central Water Commission control room said that the Ganga was close to the red mark at a few places while the Budhi Gandak, Bagmati, Kamala Balan, Kosi and Adhwara group of rivers are still rising and have even crossed the danger level at a few points.
