Bihar LoP Tejashwi Yadav releases statemt regarding loss of life and property damage

Press statement by Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav regarding the loss of life and property caused by flash floods in Nepal and the potential threat to Bihar:

In view of the likelihood of increased water flow into Bihar due to flash floods in Nepal, residents of vulnerable and affected areas in the relevant riparian districts must remain alert, and the Bihar government, in particular, must stay vigilant and prepared.

To tackle any adverse emergency or threat, the administration should maintain constant monitoring and ensure all necessary administrative and technical preparations — in addition to relief and rescue operations — are in place. The government must ensure 24/7 monitoring of dams and embankments to guarantee their structural integrity and safety.

We urge party workers to keep local residents informed and aware by providing necessary information and warnings, especially in the districts along the Gandak River — namely West Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj, Saran, Muzaffarpur and Vaishali.
