Bihar flood relief remains unaddressed
According to Jbhaskar, Bihar has not received any central government funds for flood relief despite severe flooding affecting 466 villages. The floods, caused by heavy rains in Nepal, have damaged embankments and protective barriers, leaving many areas submerged. In contrast, Gujarat received ₹1,278 crore for similar issues. The lack of support has raised questions about the central government's allocation of resources and its impact on local communities.
Impact Local communities and public-sector operations in Bihar remain affected by unaddressed flood relief needs.
