Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday met Nepal President Ram Baran Yadav in New Delhi and discussed strategies to contain the damages caused by frequent floods in the State. Later, Mr. Kumar told reporters that flood affects both the countries, which shares border and hence has to be tackled unitedly. Nepal President Ram Baran Yadav Kumar arrived in India on January 27 on a 10-day visit. The Chief Minister said the Nepal President has assured him to cooperate with India and work towards reducing risks of flooding and boost emergency responses in the event of a disaster.Over 3.3 million people were affected in Bihar in the 2008 Kosi floods, which had occurred following a breach in the embankment of Kosi river at Kusaha in Nepal. About one million people were evacuated and about 4,60,000 of them were provided temporary shelter in relief camps. Bihar, which shares a 726-km porous border with Nepal, also faces problems of infiltration, smuggling of narcotics, fake currency and human trafficking from across the border.
