Comments:
The state of Bihar is facing one of the worst flooding in 50 years, as the River Kosi in Nepal has discharged huge levels of water, running down to the bordering districts of Bihar and inundating them. The worst fear is that a 2 km long breach in the mud embankment has lead to the change in the course of the River Kosi and thus affecting those districts which have not been affected by floods in past 50 years.
