Accompanied by Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, state ministers and joint central‑state teams, Chouhan travelled by motorboats, traditional boats and tractors to reach inundated areas in Hajipur, Vaishali, Munger and Bhagalpur, conducting an aerial survey of the devastation.
The minister inspected submerged villages such as Terasia and Saprapur in Hajipur, examined flooded homes, farmlands and livestock pens, and spoke directly with flood‑affected residents about their losses.
Speaking to reporters after the field visit, Chouhan said the central government “stands like a rock” with the people of Bihar and will provide “all possible financial and infrastructural assistance” for safe evacuation and relief.
He estimated that roughly 50 lakh (5 million) people have been directly impacted by the floods, which were triggered by record rises in the Ganga and other rivers, leaving many families displaced and agricultural output submerged.
Chouhan announced that an inter‑ministerial central team will soon be dispatched to Bihar to carry out a detailed assessment of damage to crops, roads, bridges, houses and livestock, after which the Centre will release the required financial and material support in line with the state’s proposal.
The visit concluded with a review meeting at the Chief Minister’s residence in Patna, where Chouhan reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensure that no affected family is left without aid.
