Bihar floods: Villagers rebuild bridge with bamboo in flood-hit Darbhanga

DARBHANGA: Villagers in Darbhanga district are facing difficulties due to the lack of a concrete bridge in the region. Their woes have aggravated owing to the recent floods that hit the district.


However, the locals have constructed a temporary bridge using bamboo sticks.

Narrating their ordeal, the villagers told ANI that the deluge washed away the roads and that they had been raising the issue with the authorities.

"We had informed the government officials about the same a few days back. No response from their side. So, we have now constructed a bamboo bridge for the commuters," said a local.

"The existing bridge had collapsed due to the rains and people were not able to go to the city for work. So far, no official has come to take the stock of the situation. We have made the bridge using bamboo sticks," said another local while speaking to ANI.

Bihar is witnessing floods as the water level of several rivers has been rising following heavy rainfall in the region. Many villages of Bihar's Darbhanga, Araria and Madhubani districts have been affected by the floods.
