Nowhere to go: A goods train halting at a station in flooded North Bihar on Wednesday. The station, where many people have taken refuge, is completely cut off from the rest of the State.

PATNA: With flood waters swamping more areas in Bihar, the race is to prevent the breach in the Kosi embankment from widening further. The State government is hoping to complete the task in the next couple of days with the cooperation of Nepal, but the weatherman sounded pessimistic fearing more rainfall in the catchment areas in the coming days.
