Khagaria: I am Khagaria! If you have prepared for General Competition then you must have missed one question. Why is Kosi Bihar mourning? Decades have passed but this question still exists. The answer to this question can be understood from the people of Khagaria, which is devastated by floods every year in Bihar. For the last one month, people in Khagaria district faced floods by living on the streets.
When Kosi, Ganga, Bagmati, Gandak and other rivers come in their fierce form, this district of Bihar gets submerged. All farming gets ruined. Be it humans or animals… all are engaged in the struggle to save life. Then when the water starts flowing out of the village then a pain comes to the fore. During this time, we understand the government ointment and the stories of pain of the people of the flood affected area.

Flood victims including Shankar Kumar told Local 18 Bihar that they returned to their homes six days after the water receded. Broken stoves were seen in the houses, poisonous snakes were found in the utensils. The grains left in the house were washed away. Some people had kept grains on the neighbor’s terrace. He was the only one left. When we just returned home, the water coming out of the hand pump was yellow. Malaria and many diseases are affecting children. People in the flood affected areas said that the causes of floods, along with their diagnosis, government and administrative failure are coming to the fore every year.
Government claims are just air
People of the ward affected area told that we were taking shelter on the banks of NH 31. Now have returned to the village. All the children of the village are falling ill. There is no system of health care at the government level. Even arrangements for drinking water have not been made for us.
None of the arrangements made by the government for the flood affected people have reached the villagers. Recently, the government talked about sending Rs 7000 to the accounts of flood affected people. But later the affected people told that no amount was received as help.
