Continuous intermittent rain in Araria intensified on Monday, leading to severe waterlogging across the city. The heavy downpour, which began late Sunday night, continued until around 1 PM on Monday, submerging roads under one to one and a half feet of water. This made it difficult for residents to leave their homes, affecting school children and daily commuters.

Key areas of the city experienced significant waterlogging. The Araria Bus Stand complex was inundated with about 1.5 feet of water, disrupting passenger movement. The Sadar Hospital campus also saw water accumulation on paths leading to the Post-Mortem House and PICU Ward, causing considerable inconvenience to patients and their families. Concerns about the spread of infection due to waterlogging have also risen. The Collectorate premises were also affected, troubling visitors to government offices.

The persistent rain has led to a slight increase in the water level of the Parman River, which flows through the district headquarters, raising fears among residents of low-lying areas. The situation in rural areas is equally challenging. In Koshkipur Ward No. 2 of Basantpur Panchayat, located about three kilometers from the district headquarters, even light rain resulted in severe waterlogging. The road connecting Koshkipur Chowk to Ward No. 1 and 2 was submerged, causing great difficulty for locals and worshippers accessing the mosque. Additionally, Hatia Road and Basantpur Bazaar roads are muddy. Local residents have urged the administration to implement proper drainage systems in both urban and rural areas to alleviate these recurring problems.
