Ganges again in Bihar: boom in the water level, all the 108 gates of Farakka fire, millions of people are threatened

The Ganges River in Bihar again adopted an anger form. The ongoing rising water level spoiled the situation in the districts of Buxar to Bhagalpur. Especially in Kahalgaon and his surrounding areas, the situation became very serious. The water level of the river crossed the danger mark in many places, causing the crisis over the lives and livelihoods of millions of people. In light of the severity of the situation, the administration opened all 108 gates of Farakka cervar in Western Bengals on Wednesday (23 July 2025) to reduce the growing pressure of the Ganges. The purpose of this step is to reduce the horrors of flooding, but as a result, the danger of flooding in the districts below has increased further. Situation in these districts: In many districts, including Buxar, Bhojpur, Patna, Lakhisarai, Mokama, Munger and Bhagalpur, Ganga Water entered the fields, towns and low -lying areas of the city. Many Panchayats in Kahalgaon and Sultanganj are underwater. Reports of crops wasted, roads underwater and communications services are also coming out. Administration vigilant, assistance work begins: The state government and local administration have been watching the situation closely. Teams of Disaster Management (SDRF and NDRF) have been deployed in many affected areas. People are transported to safe places with the help of boats and tractors. A senior official of the Bihar Water Resources Department said: “The water level of the Ganges crossed the warning mark in many districts. The decision to open all the gates of Farakka fire was taken under duress so that the water could not be tied and the situation worsened.” Government efforts for the affected: Aid camps have been set up in many places. Drinking water, ration, medicine and medical services are arranged. Compensation scheme for affected farmers is also considered. Challenging days to come: The meteorological department warned against heavy rain within the next 48 hours, which could aggravate the situation. The administration was instructed to stay on a warning mode and remove people from sensitive areas immediately. This revival of Ganga becomes a natural disaster for Bihar every year. The question also arises whether concrete steps in the direction of flood management and permanent solution will be taken on time, or millions of people must face such a tragedy every year.
