Bihar: Heavy rains trigger floods in Munger and Gaya districts, disrupting traffic

July 16, 2025

Patna, July 16

Torrential rains over the past three days have severely affected life in Bihar, causing flooding in many areas and washing away infrastructure.

In Munger’s Haveli Kharagpur, the temporary diversion over the Dangri River near Kachhi Mor on the Kharagpur-Tarapur main road was washed away on Wednesday due to a strong current.

The diversion was being used while a bridge was under construction for the past five to six months.

With the diversion gone, traffic on this crucial route has come to a complete halt, affecting over one lakh people.

Villagers have demanded immediate arrangements for an alternative route or expedited bridge completion, but a new diversion cannot be built until water levels recede.
