TV9 Hindi · india

Heavy rainfall in Nepal has caused rivers like the Ganga and Gandak to swell, leading to flooding in Bihar. In Patna, the Bhadra Ghat and Mahavir Ghat roads and temples are submerged, causing travel difficulties. The Gandak river's rising water levels have breached an embankment in Saran district's Maker block, inundating dozens of villages and displacing livestock. Authorities are working on repairs and conducting rescue operations. In Vaishali, officials are monitoring the Gandak river's flow after water was released from the Valmikinagar barrage, ensuring embankments remain secure.
