The water level of the Ganga river is continuously rising in the Teghra block of Begusarai district, increasing the threat of floods. On Monday morning, the water level at Hathidah was recorded at 42.51 meters, 75 centimeters above the danger mark of 41.760 meters. In the last 24 hours, the water level has risen by 15 centimeters.

Due to the rising water, the entire area of Ward No. 13 and 14 in Bhagwanpur Chakki, under Ratgaon Panchayat, has been surrounded by floodwaters. Roads in the village are submerged under 1.5 to 2 feet of water, causing significant difficulties for residents' commute. Water has also entered several houses in low-lying areas. If the water level continues to rise, boat operations are expected to begin in the affected areas from Tuesday.

As the flood situation worsens, many families have started migrating to safer places, with some taking refuge on the Visaona Zamindari Dam. Villagers have urged the administration to arrange for safe shelters, boats, electricity, drinking water, and other essential facilities. BJP leader Krishnandan Singh has appealed to Sub-Divisional Officer Neeraj Kumar Sinha and Circle Officer Deepak Kumar to immediately inspect the flood-affected areas and arrange for boats and designated safe locations.

Circle Officer Deepak Kumar stated that in view of the rapid increase in the Ganga's water level, an inspection of Ratgaon Panchayat and Barauni-II Panchayat areas was conducted. The administration has currently arranged 30 boats, and more will be provided as per demand from flood-affected regions.
