There has been no respite from heavy rains in Bihar & eastern UP. Latest reports suggest that more than 100 people have died due to flooding caused by incessant rains in the two states.
IMD has retained the red alert for Bihar for the nest 24 hours, as heavy to very heavy rainfall is still expected in the state.
The conditions are so bad that people are navigating the roads by boats.
Visuals from UP and Bihar are scary as most of the areas get flooded.
