As a part of DownToEarth's travelogue series, we travel to Northeast Bihar, where the mighty Kosi flows. Kosi river is infamous for wrecking floods in these parts of Bihar. The Government of India as a solution embanked a major part of the river. Has it solved any of the problems of the people in these regions, or created some more for them to deal with?
