The government has opened integrated control rooms in the districts hit by flood-like situations and distributed relief materials among the affected people.
In the Malbazar block in Jalpaiguri, places like Bagrakote and a nearby village have been flooded by the Lis river, which experienced heavy rain in its catchment area last night.
With water levels of rivers surging due to continuous downpour, Central Water Commission (CWC) has said, river Bagmati is flowing in severe flood situation and is expected to rise at Dheng Bridge, Runisaidpur in Sitamarhi district and Benibad in Muzzafarpur district.
Gadkari further said that India has started studying the matter internally and that the water will be diverted to Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan.
