The Union Home Ministry is constantly in touch with the Bihar government. The Prime Minister has directed that all possible help should be given to Bihar by establishing constant contact with the Bihar government. Let us tell you that due to the rise in the water level of Gandak and Kosi, there is a flood-like situation in most of the districts of North Bihar. Flood water has entered hundreds of villages.

A population of about 1.5 lakh has been affected by the flood. They have been given shelter in safe places. However, now that the rain has stopped in Nepal, the water level of both Gandak and Kosi rivers has decreased. The water level is expected to decrease rapidly in the next one or two days.
