Patna, June 1 : Villagers of Gopalganj district in north Bihar are leaving their villages after increasing water level of the Gandak river has kindled fears of floods.
Most of the affected villages fall under Gopalganj s Sadar block. The villagers claim that water from the Gandak river enters into the villages falling in low-lying areas in Diyara region.
Villages such as Jagri Tola, and Maqsudpur, etc are situated on the bank of Gandak river. The water level is rising in Gandak river due to continuous rain taking place in the region due to the effects of super cyclones Yaas and Tauktae. Generally, we used to leave the village during the monsoon session. However, due to the super cyclones, moderate to severe rain is continuously taking place in the region leading to rising water level in the river, said Radhe Shyam Mahto of Jagri Tola.
