Rising Ganga Water Level Deepens Flood Crisis at TMBU, Water Enters Campus and Lalbagh Professors’ Colony Academic Activities Likely to Be Affected, Commuters Face Difficulties; Concern Grows Among Residents
Bhagalpur : The flood situation at Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University (TMBU) and surrounding areas has worsened due to the continued rise in the water level of the Ganga. Floodwater has entered the university campus as well as the Lalbagh Professors’ Colony. The situation has increased concerns among university officials, teachers, employees and local residents. With water spreading through low-lying areas, daily activities have begun to face disruption.
The impact of the rising Ganga water level is increasingly visible in low-lying and riverside parts of the city. After floodwater entered the TMBU campus, several internal roads and surrounding areas have been affected by waterlogging. Residents of Lalbagh Professors’ Colony are also facing difficulties after water entered the locality.
Floodwater Enters University Campus
The entry of floodwater into the TMBU campus has created several challenges for the university administration. Movement has started becoming difficult in low-lying parts of the campus. Students, teachers and employees may face increasing difficulties while travelling through the affected areas.
If the water level rises further, other university facilities could also be affected. The administration may therefore need to take additional precautions to protect offices, departments and essential resources.
Lalbagh Professors’ Colony Also Affected
Residents of the Lalbagh Professors’ Colony, located near the TMBU campus, are facing increasing difficulties after floodwater entered the area. Water accumulation around houses has affected movement, while residents are preparing to shift essential belongings to safer locations in case the water level rises further.
Families are particularly concerned about the safety of children and elderly residents. Problems related to clean drinking water, electricity, sanitation and other daily necessities could also increase if the situation worsens.
Increasing Pressure from the River
As the Ganga continues to rise, the risk of flooding in several low-lying parts of the city has increased. The spread of river water into surrounding areas has also created a major challenge for the administration. If the water level continues to rise at the same pace, more localities could potentially be affected.
Authorities are monitoring the river’s water level and the condition of vulnerable areas. Preparations for relief and rescue operations have also become increasingly important in the affected zones.
Protecting University Property Becomes a Challenge
With floodwater entering the university campus, protecting buildings, documents, equipment and other important resources has become a priority. The university administration may need to shift materials stored in low-lying areas to safer locations.
Special precautions may also be required to protect sensitive equipment in laboratories and offices from water damage. If water remains inside the campus for an extended period, academic and administrative activities could also be affected.
Residents Demand Permanent Solution
Residents of Lalbagh and surrounding areas have demanded a permanent solution to the recurring flood problem. Local residents say that whenever the Ganga rises, water enters low-lying areas. They believe that instead of relying only on temporary measures, permanent arrangements for drainage and flood protection are needed.
Residents have urged the administration to ensure proper drainage, relief supplies and essential facilities in vulnerable areas.
Challenge for Administration Intensifies
With floodwater entering the TMBU campus and Professors’ Colony, the situation has become challenging for both the university and the administration. Attention will remain focused on changes in the Ganga’s water level over the coming days.
