Patna: Floods from Gandak, Bagmati, Burhi Gandak and Kamla and other rivers in northern Bihar have caused large damage to plants and affects more than 30 lakh residents in 14 districts, including Champaran Timur, Sitamarhi, Katathar, Muzaffarpur and Vaishali.
At least 43 people have died in the flood so far.
Plying the vehicle on Jalan Benibad-Runishisaidpur in Sitamarhi was stopped on Monday, when the flood from the Bagmati River was excessive.
However, Ganga flows below the danger level in most places, including Digha and Gandhi Ghat on Patna.
The water level is above the danger level only in Hathidah, Kahalgaon and Farakka.
Bagmati flows above the level of danger in most places, including in Katunja (1.72 meters) and Benibad (1.27 meters).
Kamla also flowed 1.80 meters above the danger in Jhanjharpur.
But the people who lived in Gandak River Basin had great relief, contrary to the general fear last night that the 5 lakh cusecs of water would be released from the series Valmyakakar, only 3.57 lakh cusec released on Monday morning.
Incidentally, this was far lower than 4.12 lakh water cusecs released on June 26 this year.
On Sunday afternoon, the water discharge through a series of Valmikinagar was 2.67 lakh cusecs, but heavy rainfall was accepted in the water catchment area in three rigid riverbirds in Nepal, which, late at night, emphasized concerns about most likely.
The water layer leads to a series of Nepalese side.
As a result, the West Chamaran District Administration, in time night Sunday night, announced general high standby and also warned the circle (COS) officer in question, including a conscious block, to ring a warning through miking and also asked people to do it to more places safe.
“We will say that the rush of water from the upper part of the night of the night is a flash of floods caused by erratic heavy rain,” said Air Resources Department official (WRD).
“However, we have understood such phenomena by looking at satellite images of cloud concentrations.
Thus, our estimates are around 3.70 lakh water cusecs will be released from Valmyakikar series.
The actual debit is 3.57 lakh cusecs in the morning,” He said, adding that the debit level at 6 pm on Monday was 3.52 lakh cusecs, against the estimated 3.64 lakh cusec.
WRD sources also said the previous estimate that the third flood peak in this country has now passed.
The previous department’s understanding is that the third peak of floods in the state can occur in the last week of August or in the first week of September.
