Maharajganj: Crores of rupees were spent about a month ago on the repair work of Mahav Nala, but the very first rain has exposed the quality of work. This drain could not even withstand the first rain. The eastern embankment of Mahav Nala was broken in front of Devghatti village, submerging the entire area here. The farmers and villagers are enraged over the situation. The water level is continuously rising posing a threat for dozens of villages to be submerged under water.
The 30-metre wide eastern embankment of Mahav Nala, located near Deoghatti village in front of Vishwambhar Rauniyar's field, was broken on Monday due to heavy rains in Nepal. The Nautanwan block of Maharajganj forms the border with Nepal.
