Actor Manoj Bajpayee has appealed to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to send help to the flood- affected areas in the state.
The actor, who was born in a village in the West Champaran district of the state, said the situation there is grim.
Heavy rains in the last few days had triggered flash floods in parts of Bihar, where over 40 people have reportedly died so far, and inundated large areas in Assam and North Bengal, paralysing normal life and snapping rail link to the Northeast from the rest of the country.
