The Sivan River dried out in April alone, revealing water hyacinth in numerous locations.

The Sevan River that runs through the city had almost dried up by the first week of April. The primary cause of this is that the river hasn't been periodically cleaned, and the water that was discharged from the Bhagwanpur reservoir hasn't been put into the river either.

The evidence indicates that the Sivan River flows through the city, and the city's water sources—stepwells and hand pumps—have an adequate supply of water. However, this year's water supplies have already begun to disappear because of the Sivan River's rapid drying up. The Siwan River received no attention this year. Sivan's life is in jeopardy as a result, and the Sivan River has dried up at a time when there should be an abundance of water in all of the district's water sources.

Since Sivan River is the only river, devotees customarily give candles there during festivals; however, at this time of year, Sivan River is dry. Where will the devotees contribute lamps if they go to do so, given that the river is dry?

As a result, the Siwan River appears to have altered in appearance due to a lack of water; instead of water, all that is seen are mounds of water hyacinth and dry soil. The profusion of water hyacinth makes the Siwan River appear to be lush and green, where it is easy to spot cattle even while they are roaming. This river doesn't look like a river right now; it looks more like an empty field.

According to Municipal Council CMO Bhupendra Dixit, numerous projects will be carried out as part of the Amrit Yojana, in addition to a push to clean the Sivan River that flows through the city.
