Rising water levels in the Ganga and Sone rivers have created flood-like conditions in six panchayats of the Maner Diara region in Patna district. Hundreds of homes are inundated, and almost all Diara villages are waterlogged. Villagers are forced to wade through knee-deep water to reach main roads to purchase daily necessities, food, and medicines. The elderly, children, and sick individuals are facing the most significant difficulties.

The most affected villages include Hulasi Tola, Rambad, Chaurasi, Suarmarwa, Islamganj, Chhihattar, Hathi Tola, all tolas of Haldichhapra, Dudhaila, and Ratantola. On the Maner-Haldichhapra road, vehicles can only reach the Dudhaila bridge, preventing access to the interior villages. Seriously ill patients are being carried on cots through the water to the road, with cots serving as makeshift ambulances.

Livestock owners are also facing increased problems as submerged fields have led to a severe fodder shortage. Families whose कच्चा (unpaved) houses are flooded are gathering their belongings and seeking refuge in higher areas. Women are experiencing significant difficulties in accessing fields for defecation due to the widespread water. Some families from Ratan Tola have taken shelter on the Maner Mahinawan Dam. Villagers have complained about the lack of government assistance so far, with only private small boats operating on a rental basis for transportation.
