In view of the escalating flood threat in the Bakhtiyarpur Diara region of Patna, the administration has intensified its preparations to tackle the disaster. Following directives from the district administration, the Bakhtiyarpur Anchal has deployed dozens of boats from September 3 at Giaspur Ganga Ghat to various villages. These boats will remain operational until further orders.

Anchaladhikari (Circle Officer) Pawan Kumar Shah visited Giaspur Ganga Ghat to inspect the boat arrangements. He appealed to flood-affected residents to utilize the free boat services to reach safer locations during severe flood conditions. Boatmen have been strictly instructed not to charge any fare from individuals. Residents have also been advised to contact public representatives or the Circle Officer directly in case of any difficulties, assuring them of full administrative support.

Subsequently, the Circle Officer also inspected the community kitchen operating at Ghoswari School. He gathered information about the food arrangements and other facilities being provided to the flood victims. The medical team present at the shelter was also enquired about the health services. Dr. Amresh Kumar Sinha, in-charge of Bakhtiyarpur Community Health Center, also visited the Ghoswari shelter, assessing medicine distribution and patient treatment. He stated that the health department team is prepared to provide excellent medical services throughout the Bakhtiyarpur area, and ambulance assistance will be available by calling 102 in any emergency.

However, local villagers remain concerned that while the administration has arranged for boats, community kitchens, and medical teams, the lack of an SDRF (State Disaster Response Force) unit deployment across the entire block raises questions about rescue operations during a major emergency. Villagers emphasize that adequate arrangements for immediate rescue are crucial in the event of any sudden major incident.
