Catastrophic was the flood of 1968

Water scientist Dr. Dinesh Mishra has shared a memoir remembering the 1968 Bihar Flood. Dr. Dinesh Mishra says that the highest ever flow in Kosi was 9.13 lakh cusecs on October 5, 1968, while between Kosi embankments the embankment was designed for a flow capacity of 9.50 cusecs. At that time, there were cracks in five places in the middle of Ghonghepur under Jamalpur in Darbhanga district in the western embankment of the river and there was heavy destruction.

Rats are accused of undermining the embankment

Dinesh Mishra says that the accident was investigated by PN kumara , an engineer of the Central Water Commission. He blamed mice for this. In time, these cracks were filled. This is the highest flow since 1968. We hope that this round will pass efficiently without any mishaps. The state government has given a good signal by canceling the holidays of all the employees and officials and also announced the readiness to complete all the protective measures, which is commendable.Bihar Flood

Nitish Kumar fulfilled the promise

Dinesh Mishra says that the embankment that broke in Kusha in 2008 unfortunately broke only at 1.44 lakh cusecs, which was an alarming incident. Believed that this time nothing like that would happen. Remembering that incident, the flow of the river that is being talked about seems frightening. I remember that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar then assured everyone that the embankment has been strengthened so much that nothing is going to happen for thirty years. This deadline has not yet passed and we pray that God will protect everyone from this misfortune. Bihar Flood

There is no third option

Expressing concern for the people living between the two dams, Dinesh Mishra says, “We would also like to say that when so much water successfully passes between the embankments, then the problems of the people living between them will increase unnecessarily. The government will definitely take care of their interests. The problem with the embankment is that if something happens to it, it will make a nuisance on the country side and if it is safe, it will make life difficult on the river side. The third is no choice. Pray to God to protect us.

All embankments are safe; officials are making camp on the embankments

All the embankments of Bihar are protected. Water Resources Department has deputed 45 Junior Engineers, 25 Assistant Engineers, 17 Executive Engineers and 3 superintendent Engineers for the supervision of sensitive and highly sensitive sites. Due to the rise of Gandak-Kosi, there is a possibility of increase in the water level of Ganga river. River Ganga has come below the danger mark in Patna two days ago, but the water level of the river from Bhagalpur to Farakka is still above the danger mark. The water level of the river in Farakka is also one meter above the danger mark. Near Patna due to Gandak while Ganga is near Katihar due to Kosi
