Bihar is witnessing the severe impact of floods as water levels in major rivers like Ganga, Punpun, and Karmanasa rise significantly. Patna and Nalanda districts are particularly affected. In Patna's Masaurhi sub-division, the Punpun and Dardha rivers are in spate. A 50-foot section of the Punpun-Chandasi link road has been washed away, disrupting direct connectivity between two villages. Locals have raised concerns about the quality of the road, which was constructed just four months ago.

Floodwaters from the Dardha river have inundated agricultural fields towards Dhanarua, destroying crops. The Punpun river has been continuously rising for the past three days, exceeding the danger mark of 50.60 meters and reaching 52.62 meters by Wednesday afternoon. Low-lying areas such as Fahimchak, Barhiya Kol, and Lodipur have seen homes and fields submerged, forcing many families to relocate to higher ground. Masaurhi SDM Dhanraj Kumar, SDPO Raghav Dayal, and Punpun CO Prabhat Ranjan have inspected the flood-affected areas. CO Prabhat Ranjan stated that watchmen have been deployed at all Zamindari embankments for 24-hour monitoring. The SDM has instructed officials to be prepared for any emergency and to carry out anti-erosion work on a war footing.

Meanwhile, Nalanda district is also facing flood threats. An embankment at Gonar Khandha near Onda village in Asthawan block has suffered erosion. In Manpur, a diversion has submerged, exacerbating difficulties for residents who are forced to cross at great risk. BDO Geeta Kumari and ARO Premanand Prasad have assessed the affected areas, and repair work is underway. In Kosuk village, Bihar Sharif headquarters, rising water levels in the Panchane river have temporarily halted lake construction and beautification projects. In Dariyapur village, under Manpur police station in Bihar Sharif, a diversion built over the Sakri river has also submerged, cutting off connectivity between Bihar Sharif and surrounding areas, forcing people to travel an extra 40 kilometers.
