Ganga Below Danger Mark

The flood situation in Bihar appears to be improving as the Ganga waters receded below danger marks for the first time in the past two weeks but heavy rains led to water-logging on railways tracks in Howrah and Sealdah divisions in West Bengal affecting train services.

The water level in the Ganga in Kanpur is a mere 46-cm below the danger mark, prompting the district administration to issue a high alert for the villages situated on the banks of the river, officials said.
