An IAS officer, along with few public representatives, have got stuck in the Kosi river in Supaul district of Bihar since Monday evening.
IAS officer Nadimul Gaffar Siddiqui, who is posted as Supaul SDO along with other district officials and public representatives of various panchayats had gone to visit flood affected villages that are located inside the embankment of the Kosi river early morning on Moday.
All together 12 persons, including a local BJP leader and 3 boatmen, while coming back to Supaul, got stuck in the Kosi as the water level started to rise beyond the danger level which is 200000 cusec.
It may be noted that it is raining continuously in North Bihar for last few days especially in the Kosi and Seemanchal region due to which several rivers including Gandak and Kosi are flowing over the danger level.
