Flood situation remains grim in MP, Bihar and UP

Days of heavy rain have caused the Ganges River and its tributaries to rise above the danger level during the past 48 hours in about 20 districts of the states of Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

In Bihar, waters from various rivers were reported to be spreading to new areas in Bhojpur, Buxar, Munger, Bhagalpur, Khagaria, Jahanabad and Arwal districts. Low lying areas of Patna, riverine areas of Patna, Vaishali and Saran districts are also reportedly under water. Flood-affected people have taken shelter in schools in Patna. The movement of trains has been stopped between Chapra and Balia because of submerged railway tracks at many places.

Here are the latest images from the affected areas:
