Patna, Aug 2 (IANS) Thousands of people have been rendered homeless in Bihar's Sitamarhi district after the Bagmati river breached its embankment, flooding nearly 200 villages.
Those stranded in villages are living under the open skies without food and drinking water, waiting to be rescued.
'We are hungry and our children are crying for food and milk, but nothing has been provided by the government though it is over 24 hours since the Bagmati river breached its embankment,' Narayain Singh, one of the thousands of villagers taking shelter on embankments, told IANS via his mobile phone, which he feares might run out of charge soon.
