Important Safety Guidelines for Residents
The Disaster Management Department has urged people to remain alert and follow safety protocols during the storm period. Since lightning and strong winds are expected, taking shelter in permanent buildings is the safest option. Farmers are specifically advised to protect their crops and keep their livestock in covered areas to avoid any loss.
- Seek shelter indoors and avoid standing under trees or electric poles during storms.
- Unplug electrical appliances like televisions and refrigerators to prevent damage from lightning.
- Do not stay in open fields or near water bodies when the weather turns severe.
- Avoid spraying pesticides during strong winds and move to safe buildings if living in temporary structures.
Water Crisis in Bhagalpur Ward 13
In Bhagalpur, nearly 5,000 residents of Ward 13 in the Parbatti area are currently struggling with a severe water crisis. The trouble started after a major motor failure disrupted the local water supply system. While technical teams are working on repairs, the sudden shortage has caused significant daily problems for thousands of families in the locality.
| Area Affected | Problem Type | Current Status |
|---|---|---|
| Ward 13, Parbatti (Bhagalpur) | Major Motor Failure | Repairs are currently underway |
| Bihar (Statewide) | Weather Alert | Active until April 8, 2026 |
| Temperature Change | Expected Drop | Decrease of 2 to 4 degrees Celsius |
While the administration works on the motor in Parbatti, the wider Bhagalpur region is already dealing with various water supply projects. Organizations like BUIDCo are working on long-term plans to supply Ganga water to households by 2025, but localized issues like motor failures and non-functional handpumps continue to affect the common man in different wards.
