Flood situation remained grim in more than a dozen districts of Bihar on Monday while reports of breaches in embankments from at least seven places across the state also kept the administration on its toes.

Many videos of houses getting destroyed have surfaced on the internet. And among them a video has gone viral in which a girl can be seen trembling and fighting for life in between the flood waves with the help of a mere tyre tube. This spine chilling incident was recorded and posted by an X account.

The video shows heavy and strong flood waves of Kosi river taking away woods, drums and in between a tyre tube can be seen floating on which a girl is rescuing herself from getting drowned in it.

One of the users commented on the video and said, “The people making the video kept on making the video, saving that girl should be the first priority and not making the video.”

“What are the people making the video doing? They can save her,” said another one. 

Nepal Rains Affected Bihar  

Flood water has reached fresh areas presenting the government with fresh challenges though there is nothing to panic about, Water Resources Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary said.

"Seven cases of breach in embankments" have been reported from across the state, large parts of which have been inundated after the release of over six lakh cusecs of water by adjoining Nepal, which has been lashed by torrential rains, he said.

“There have been no deaths so far. We must remember that the rainfall in Nepal has broken the record of 56 years,” the minister told reporters.

The affected districts in the state include West and East Champaran, Araria, Kishanganj, Gopalganj, Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Supaul, Siwan, Madhepura, Muzaffarpur, Purnea, Madhubani, Darbhanga, Saran and Saharsa.
