Heavy spells of rain have been badgering several states of the country like Assam, Maharashtra, West Bengal and Bihar for the past few weeks.
But the monsoon has also brought forth severe life loss and destruction. A recent video of an inundated road in Bihar has been doing the rounds on the internet and has left people speechless.
The clip shows a road in Kaimur district in Bihar and the scene can easily be mistaken for any big waterfall.
The video is captured from a high location and a huge amount of water can be seen continuously flowing with what is a road underneath.
Some of the elevated portions of land stay afloat where curious peeps have lined up to talk and look about.
The video was shared on social media platforms earlier today (July 14) and has been watched by nearly 43,000 Twitter users.

Several of the netizens were worried for the onlookers, several of whom appeared to be teenagers or young adults, for standing amidst such high flowing water.
One comment said: "Never underestimate the power of water flow. Why those fools are casually walking on the flowing water ?? (sic)"
