New Delhi [India] August 13 (ANI): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday spoke to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over the flood-like situation in the state, and assured that the Centre is rushing additional National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams to provide relief. "Spoke to Bihar CM @NitishKumar and discussed the flood situation in the state. The NDRF teams have already reached the affected areas.

Heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely in eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Nepal, it said. (ANI)
