Bihar Floods Kill 10 as Red Alerts Target North Bengal and Trains Are Canceled

IMD forecasts a weakening system that will ease Bihar’s rain from Monday as North Bengal faces short-term high‑impact alerts.

Overview

  • At least ten people died in Bihar over the past 48 hours in rain and lightning incidents, with widespread flooding and 13 injuries reported by state officials.
  • Patna saw a service lane cave in near the Mithapur flyover and Gopalganj’s Sadar Hospital was inundated, though the flyover structure remained unaffected, authorities said.
  • IMD said the well-marked low over west Jharkhand and south Bihar is weakening, with rainfall intensity over Bihar likely to drop significantly from Monday.
  • North Bengal is under Red and Orange alerts, with risks of landslides, flash floods, severe waterlogging, and rising levels in rivers including the Teesta, Torsa, Raidak and Jaldhaka.
  • Railways canceled multiple services in North Bengal, including the Siliguri–Dhubri DEMU, NJP–Alipurduar Tourist Special and Siliguri–Bamanhat Express, as gusts up to 50 kmph and heavy rain persist.
