PATNA: The flood situation in Bihar worsened on Sunday, with many rivers breaching their banks and affecting hundreds of thousands of people, officials said.

More than 2.6 million people have been hit by the floods in the state including half a million who have been displaced across 12 districts, the officials said.

Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav visited the flood affected Supaul district on Sunday and said: "We are fully prepared to provide relief and rescue the affected people."

Senior officials said relief and rescue operations were going on in full swing, but the situation was grim in some districts following rising water level in rivers.

The government has deployed 587 personnel of the National Disaster Response Force and the state disaster response force in the worst hit areas. A Water Resources Department official said 2,034 villages had been affected by the floods.

Of the five lakh people displaced till Sunday, nearly 2.50 lakh are living in different shelters.

"Thousands have taken shelter in higher areas, on national highways and in schools and other buildings," an official said.
