Rohtas. The increased water level in the Son river after heavy rains has increased the difficulties of the trucks stuck in the river. Somehow eight trucks were pulled out on the fourth day. But, due to the torrent of water, there is a problem in the rescue of about 20 other stranded trucks. Alam is that even on Sunday, about 20 trucks could not be taken out of the river.

But, they are not able to make way. Due to the fast flow of water, the sand bags are not able to survive.

The rains on Saturday and Sunday increased the problems of the owners, drivers and co-drivers of the trucks stuck in the Son river. There is no place to hide your head in the Son river or on its banks. Everywhere people have taken shelter to save themselves from the rain. Sitting in trucks stuck in the river is not free from danger. If the water level of the river increases further, then there is a possibility of drowning of trucks. Two trucks are already submerged in the river.
Six tires and two batteries of stranded trucks were stolen

Dehri SDO Sunil Kumar Sinha, who came to see the trucks on Sunday, said that the rescue work is going on by the ghat operators. Some trucks have been pulled out. Ghat operators are doing the work of making the way. On the other hand, truck driver Subhash Yadav, a resident of Kaimur’s Ramgarh, said that if the administration had called for a Pipa machine from Patna, all the trucks would have been out of the river by now.
