The Kishanganj district administration has started flood preparedness measures ahead of the 2026 monsoon season to reduce the impact of possible flooding in vulnerable areas. Officials have issued short-term tenders for the supply of relief materials, emergency resources, and disaster management equipment to ensure faster response during flood emergencies. These preparations are especially important because several regions in Kishanganj are affected by heavy rainfall and overflowing rivers during the monsoon season.
The flood preparedness plan includes arranging food packets, tarpaulins, medicines, rescue boats, drinking water supplies, temporary shelters, and emergency transportation facilities. Disaster management teams and local authorities are also expected to coordinate rescue operations, monitor river water levels, and spread awareness among residents living in flood-prone areas. The administration aims to strengthen emergency response systems and protect people, livestock, and infrastructure during the upcoming flood season.
