The rising water level in the Kiul River in Lakhisarai district has once again raised serious concerns about the safety of its embankments. The rapidly increasing water poses a flood threat to approximately 10,000 residents, creating an atmosphere of fear among the local villagers who are demanding immediate action from the administration.

Reports indicate a continuous surge in the Kiul River's water level, exerting pressure on the embankments and increasing the risk of breaches. Should the embankments fail, several low-lying areas in Lakhisarai could experience severe flooding, leading to significant loss of life and property. This situation recurs annually during the monsoon season, but villagers claim that the administration has neglected the proper maintenance and repair of the embankments this year.

Residents report that the embankments are weakened in multiple spots with visible cracks. They have urgently called for immediate repairs and reinforcement of these vulnerable sections. Locals also accuse the flood control department of negligence in inspecting and maintaining the embankments, urging the government and district administration to intervene and find a permanent solution. The villagers have appealed to the local authorities to assess the embankment situation promptly and initiate necessary strengthening works to prevent a potentially disastrous outcome. This escalating threat has heightened anxiety among Lakhisarai residents, particularly those living near the riverbanks or in low-lying areas.
