Bihar Rivers Flood, Affecting Districts and Schools
Several districts in Bihar are experiencing flood-like conditions as major rivers, including the Ganga, have crossed danger levels. The rising waters have inundated cremation grounds in Patna and are threatening to breach the highest flood mark at Gandhi Ghat. At least five districts are severely affected, prompting the Chief Minister to conduct an aerial survey of the impacted areas. In response to the rising water levels, students in Bihar are using boats to travel to school. Separately, Nepal is grappling with a devastating flood disaster, with reports of over 1,200 deaths and hundreds of children missing in some regions.
