Mungul areas flooded as river overflows
Incessant rains inundated low-lying areas of Mungul, even as the River Sal was flowing in full spate on Sunday. Large tracts of low-lying areas on the banks of the River Sal, especially at Mungul was flooded with rain water. However, the authorities said there was no need to evacuate the migrants inhabiting the banks of River Sal at Khareband as the rains subsided this evening. Plastic and other saste from the wholesale fish market flowed along the course of River Sal right up to Mungul, indicating that the PDA authority has failed to dispose of the waste before the onset of monsoons.
