Flood Causes Havoc In Bihar; Death Toll Rises To 102

Dozens of villages have been inundated, forcing people flee their homes and seek shelter at safer places, a disaster management official said. In the worst-hit Sitamarhi and Araria districts, roads have also been damaged. The flood were caused by heavy rain in north Bihar and the catchment areas of major rivers in neighbouring Nepal.However, Water Resources Department officials said the water level in rivers originating in Nepal was likely to decrease as rain in those areas had stopped.
