Summary:
The affected villages come under flood plain zone, and are always prone to floods.”All 40 villages of Sadar tehsil and 37 villages of Palia that fall under the flood plain zone are hit by flood every year. We have provided medicines and ration kits to all affected villages. Approximately ten thousand people are affected by flood in Sadar tehsil.” The irrigation department is using sandbags and bamboos to minimise soil erosion due to increased water levels in Sharda and Ghaghra. Although floodwater has not entered residential areas, we are fully prepared to shift villagers to safer places anytime..
