Bihar floods force people along Kosi to eat rats
The flood-affected villagers of Bihar's Banahi Tola have claimed they are forced to eat rats due to the scarcity of food. The village, situated along Kosi river, cuts off from the rest of Bihar during monsoon. Bechan Sada, one of the village hunters, said everyday he hunts about 12 kg of rats during the floods and sells them at ₹40/kg.
