On 5 September 2026 the Ganga at Gandhi Ghat in Patna read 50.53 metres against a danger mark of 48.60 metres, above the earlier highest flood level, and Bhagalpur was among nine districts reported with low-lying areas affected. The state had 27 SDRF and 9 NDRF teams out, and the Chief Minister asked for the Ganga embankments from Buxar to Bhagalpur to be watched for erosion and breaches.
On 5 September 2024 the Ganga at Kahalgaon was at 31.56 metres, 45 cm above the danger level, and more than 25 villages in the district were affected, among them Masadhu in Sabour block and Shankarpur, Dildarnagar, Bindtola and Jamania in Nathnagar block. Hundreds of people were displaced, and some took shelter on the TNB College ground in Bhagalpur.
In the 2024 flood a water tower at Masadhu fell into the Ganga; it was the only drinking-water source for over 200 families. In August 2026 a breach was reported in the embankment near Raghopur under Naugachia, two days before a boat accident in the same area.
On 26 August 2026 a boat carrying labourers to flood-fighting and embankment repair work overturned in the strong current of the Ganga at Raghopur, Naugachia. Reports gave 18 or 22 people aboard, with six feared missing in one account and 21 rescued with one missing in another; no deaths were reported, and SDRF teams and divers searched the river.
