Bihar on high alert following Nepal flash floods: Why does the state flood so often?
A sudden flash flood in the Rasuwa district of Nepal has put Bihar on high alert, with at least eight people reported dead. Bihar deals with flooding every year because of its location near the Himalayas, intense monsoon downpours, and difficulties in managing water flow. Major rivers like the Gandak and Kosi originate in Nepal and enter the flat plains of Bihar, bringing along large amounts of silt. During the monsoon, these rivers swell significantly, leading to regular flooding.
