Mohammad Ehsan, a resident of Parbalpur village, was spotted embarking on a boat journey to his bride’s house. During this picturesque moment, one person was seen sheltering the groom with an umbrella while others loaded wedding gifts onto the boat. Videos captured the scene where people pushed the boat to set it sailing on the river.
In Bihar, heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours has caused several rivers, including Kosi, Mahananda, Bagmati, Kamla, and Gandak, to surpass their danger levels, according to a bulletin from the Water Resources Department cited by news agency PTI. The Kosi and Lal Bakeya Rivers have already reached warning levels in Khagaria, Beldaur, Sitamarhi, and nearby areas, as noted in the bulletin.
An official from the department informed PTI that no fatalities have been reported so far. District administrations have relocated people from low-lying areas to safer locations as a precautionary measure.
