Several rivers in Bihar, including the Ghaghra, Kosi, Ganga, Sone, and Gandak, are currently flowing above their respective danger levels, as per real-time data from the Central Water Commission (CWC).
Key locations such as Darauli in Siwan, Baltara in Khagaria, Hathidah in Patna, and others have reported water levels exceeding danger thresholds.

The elevated river levels pose a significant risk of flooding in the affected regions, particularly in low-lying areas near the rivers. Districts such as Siwan, Khagaria, Patna, Katihar, Bhagalpur, Supaul, and Gopalganj are at heightened risk. Flooding could disrupt transportation, damage crops, and impact local communities. Residents in these areas should remain vigilant and prepared for potential evacuation orders if water levels continue to rise or if heavy rainfall occurs upstream.
