The Ganga river breaches the “highest flood mark” at Gandhi Ghat in Patna, as water levels rise further following heavy rain. According to The Hindu, the water level is already above the previous highest level and is forecast to reach about 50.62 cm by 8 a.m. on September 6. People near the ghat are advised to exercise caution as river levels continue to climb.
Times of India reports that several low-lying areas around Patna face an increased risk of inundation as the river crosses the highest flood mark. Business Line similarly highlights the rising water level and urges residents to remain alert and cautious. While all outlets agree on the breach and the precautionary response, the coverage differs slightly in emphasis—The Hindu focuses on specific forecast figures, while Times of India stresses the local flooding risk across low-lying neighbourhoods.
