The floods in Khagaria, Bihar, have caused considerable distress, affecting the lives of many. The inundation, caused by the overflowing Ganga and Burhi Gandak rivers, has impacted nearly 125,000 people across the district. Numerous villages in the Khagaria Sadar, Parbatta, and Gogri blocks are severely affected, with schools, colleges, and fields submerged. With roads transformed into rivers, boats have become the primary means of transportation.
A heartwarming story emerged from Borna, Gogri block, where a groom, Mohammad Zafar, and his wedding party traveled by boat. The groom, dressed in traditional attire, led the procession to Dighon in Beldaur block. Due to the widespread flooding, the groom’s journey was entirely by boat, from his village to the wedding venue. Following the wedding, the bride also departed on a boat, creating a memorable wedding amidst the floods. The unusual wedding has garnered significant attention.
