PATNA: While the paddy transplantation in the state has already been adversely hit by the scanty rainfall across Bihar over the last two months, the state is now hit by double whammy, as there are portends of flood in the north Bihar plains due to heavy rainfall received in Nepal in the last 24 hours.
Water resources department (WRD) minister Sanjay Kumar Jha on Monday sounded high alert in the basins of Gandak, Kosi, Bagmati and Kamla Balan rivers, as the water levels of these rivers crossed the danger level at a few points.
