Five days into floods, no solution till now

Patna and other flood-affected places, in Bihar, will remain on orange alert even on Thursday, ahead of heavy-rainfall prediction. While the rainfall ceased on Wednesday, the grave water-logging problems continued to trouble the residents.

An Orange Alert has been issued for Patna, Vaishali, Begusarai, and Khagaria districts for October 3 and 4, as these areas are expected to receive heavy rainfall.

 

At least 55 people have died in rain-related incidents in Bihar following torrential showers that took place between September 27 and 30, leading to a flood-like situation in many parts in the state including the capital Patna, officials said on Wednesday.
