Authorities Order Heightened Vigilance Along Ganga Banks in Six Bihar Districts

The department emphasized that engineers, district officials and field officers must ensure regular surveillance of water levels, embankments, and low‑lying zones along the Ganga. Precautionary steps are to be taken before any flood situation escalates, including keeping flood‑control machinery on standby. Residents living near the river have been urged to stay away from the banks unless absolutely necessary, and boat operators are to be monitored for over‑loading and unsafe practices.
