Buxar district is facing a significant flood threat as the Ganga river's water level continues to rise. On Thursday, at 1 PM, the water level in Buxar was recorded at 60.39 meters, which is 7 centimeters above the danger mark of 60.32 meters. The water level has been increasing at approximately one centimeter per hour, intensifying the flood risk in the Diara and riverside areas.

The rising Ganga waters have also impacted National Highway 319A, connecting Buxar and Mohania. Several sections of the road are submerged under two to three feet of water, making travel hazardous. With deep ditches on both sides filled with water, it's difficult to gauge the actual width of the road, posing a risk of vehicles slipping into the water-filled trenches. The Circle Officer of Chausa stated that barricades with red ribbons and nets would be installed by Thursday evening, along with security personnel deployed for vigilance.

Several villages have been affected by the floods. These include Govindpur in Chhotka Nuanv Panchayat (Buxar block), Banarpur in Banarpur Panchayat (Chausa block), Dhabhi and Gajadhar Dera in Uttari Nainijor Panchayat (Brahampur block), and Gangauli, Srikant Rai ka Dera, Ramdas Rai ka Dera, and Tavakal Rai ka Dera in Rajpur Parsanpah Panchayat (Simri block). A total of 19 boats are being operated for transportation and relief efforts in these affected areas. Additionally, 80 polythene sheets have been distributed in Banarpur village.

A review meeting on the flood situation was held on Thursday, chaired by District Magistrate Sahila. She directed officials from all flood-affected circles to continuously monitor the situation and conduct awareness campaigns. The administration has instructed to ensure arrangements for shelters, community kitchens, boats, boatmen, and divers. Directives were also issued for operating boat ambulances in affected areas of Simri and Brahampur, ensuring the availability of essential medicines, and the presence of doctors and health workers in hospitals. Furthermore, preparations for clean drinking water, fodder for livestock, and mobile veterinary units have been ordered. Twenty-four-hour monitoring of the Buxar-Koilwar embankment and readiness for anti-erosion measures are also in place. The district administration has prohibited illegal boat operations and overloading in the river.
