Locals blaming Nitish govt for flood situation in Bihar

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has rescued over ten thousand people from the state capital. The rescue teams have been rowing people across the flooded streets in inflated boats from the past few days.

Five NDRF teams have been deployed in Patna's Rajendra Nagar and Kankarbagh alone to assist people amid the flood situation. Water had also entered the Kankarbagh Police Station.

Indian Air Force helicopters have also been dropping relief material to the flood-affected areas.

The situation led to a war of words between the ruling alliance partners, with the BJP blaming the Nitish Kumar government for poor crisis management and the chief minister's JD(U) accusing it of speaking the language of the opposition.
