Amid floods in several districts of Bihar, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP from Buxar, Sudhakar Singh, on Sunday (October 4, 2026) wrote to Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, seeking an independent inquiry into the widespread flooding and embankment breaches across various districts of Bihar. He also demanded a review of expenditure on construction and maintenance, and action against responsible officials and engineers.

Mr. Singh said the severe flood situation in various districts and the incidents of dam and embankment breaches were deeply concerning. These things were causing immense damage to people’s lives, homes, agriculture, livestock, and livelihoods. He also said there were reports of homes being washed away by the floods.

The MP pointed out that the repeated breaching of embankments — constructed to provide protection against floods — raised serious questions regarding construction quality, maintenance, monitoring processes, and the accountability of the department concerned.
