The under-construction East-West Corridor on NH-107 at Raghopur has been hosting over 40,000 people. While Raghopur MLA Niraj Kumar Bablu is more interested in photo ops, Sonbarsa Raj MLA Kishore Kumar Munna has won praise by helping out. Eleven blocks of neighbouring Madhepura have also been partly submerged. The worst affected areas are Alamnagar, Uda Kishanganj, Kumarkhand, Gwalpada and Murliganj.
