| One person was killed in a police lathi-charge on relief seekers in Saharsa district on Sunday, even as a breach on National Highway 31 in Khagaria disconnected the entire-north east from most parts of the country. The death toll in floods in the State stood at 260 on Sunday.
The police lathi-charged those who had gathered at the Sonbarsa block office to collect relief materials. The officer-in-charge of the police station has been suspended.
With the turbulent Kosi breaking open a crack in the highway, the Khagaria district authorities have suspended movement of vehicles. The highway is under two feet of water. Movement of trucks from north-east carrying cash crop has been affected.
Swept away
Five women were swept away while taking bath in the swollen Ganga River in Begusarai. Three bodies were recovered.
Protesting the poor relief operation, the State unit of the CPI has decided to hold protest rallies at the block level on August 21 and at the district level on September 1.
