Seven engineers suspended in Bihar over flood response failures as Gandak river recedes
Seven engineers have been suspended in Bihar for negligence in their response to recent flooding caused by the Gandak river. The action was taken as the river's water levels began to recede from peak flood stages.
The suspensions reflect official dissatisfaction with the handling of flood management and relief coordination during the crisis. The Gandak river, which flows through Bihar, had swollen beyond normal levels, triggering inundation in several areas.
