Key Points:
- On this occasion, the Water Resources Minister said that this anti-erosion work would greatly benefit the people of the area. Had this plan not been completed, many houses in this village could have been submerged in the river during the time of flood.
- He said that the state government is running several schemes to get rid of the people from floods and drought. Under this, for the first time, through the Western Kosi Canal Scheme, irrigation facilities have been started for the people of Manigachi and Benipur with canal water.
- Work is also being done by the Water Resources Department to solve the problems like sliding down the water level. The work of bringing water into the river and reviving the dead Kamla River is going on. This will maintain the water level.
- It is known that floods come from Nepal in Bihar. If the dam would have been built in Nepal, Bihar would have got rid of floods permanently, as well as electricity would have been produced, for this a treaty has also been signed between the two countries.
