PATNA: More than 250 school students were trapped in the Navodaya Vidyalaya in Darbhanga as flood waters entered the school on Sunday. According to reports, the students could not be sent home as the waters of Bagmati and Kamla Balan overflowed and flooded the lower reaches of the town. The Indian Air Force airstrip and the Bihar Military Police base was also flooded. The district was cut off from the rest of the State with the National Highway connecting Patna submerged The swollen Bagmati swept away a newly constructed Ghulam Sarvar bridge connecting Darbhanga with Keoti. About 20 people who fell into the river were rescued. The torrential rain uprooted trees and one such incident led to the death of a driver on the Chapra-Siwan road. Snakebites claimed at least six lives in the State.
