The flood situation remained grim in Bihar on Friday though the water level has come down in several rivers, while a section of the affected people put up a road blockade in Muzaffarpur district alleging inadequate relief measures, officials said.

More than 45 lakh people in 30 out of the total 38 districts of the state have been affected by the calamity in two phases since last month, according to the Disaster Management Department (DMD).

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar initiated the process of transferring financial assistance of Rs 7,000 to the bank account of each flood-hit family. He also inspected areas affected by the deluge in Darbhanga and surrounding areas.
