While those living outside the embankment area benefit from less flooding and erosion, those within the embankment area are more prone to risk.

Supaul (Bihar): On September 10, a fortnight before the announcement of the state assembly elections, Bihar water resources minister Sanjay Kumar Jha laid the foundation for a 4.6 km long extension of the Sikarhatta-Majhari low embankment from Parsauni to Mahisha in Madhubani’s Baidyanathpur area.

“The construction of this embankment will provide respite from floods to a large section of the population in the region next year. Despite hot weather, the enthusiasm of the people was at its peak,” Jha wrote on social media after the inauguration.

The same day, the minister also laid the foundation stone for extending the left embankment of Bhutahi Balan river, which is currently 25 km long, from Ramnagar village to Ghoghardiha Nirmali link road by 6.61 km. The minister said the project would safeguard a large population of 56 villages from floods.
