In Bhojpur district, the Ganga River is flowing 19 centimeters above the danger mark, causing floodwaters to inundate several villages and low-lying areas across 19 panchayats in Barhara block. The water level of rivers in Bihar has risen sharply following severe floods in Nepal's Rasuwa district, leading to a concerning situation in Bhojpur.

The Ganga's water level is currently at 53.27 meters, 19 centimeters above the danger threshold. Floodwaters have entered low-lying areas of numerous panchayats in Barhara block, including Neknam Tola, Bakhorapur, Farna, Paschimi Babura, Bishunpur, Purvi Gundi, Paschimi Gundi, Barhara, Ekwana, Gaziapur, Nathmalpur, Balua, Nargada, Sohra, Sinha, Pakri, Saraiya, and Khaspur. Several roads are submerged, disrupting transportation.

Due to the rising water levels, the pontoon bridge has been dismantled, forcing villagers to rely on boats to cross the river. People are risking their lives, traveling by boat through the strong currents of the swollen Ganga. Schoolchildren and villagers commuting for daily necessities are also facing these hazardous conditions.

Farmers have suffered significant losses. Maize and vegetable crops in the fields are submerged, and paddy crops are also under threat. Bittu Kumar Rai, a resident of Neknam Tola, stated that floods cause immense difficulties every year, requiring them to wade through over 1.5 kilometers of water to reach the main road for groceries. Villagers have demanded the construction of a permanent bridge at Mahuli Ghat to alleviate these annual hardships.
