Claim: A video of the damaged railway track is viral with the claim that it is the Jamalpur track in Bihar which has been damaged after the Bihar floods.
After taking different frames from the viral video, its reverse image search was done. It turned out that the video is of Shivpuri railway track in Madhya Pradesh and not from Bihar. The video has been uploaded by various news channels like Bansal News MPCG and SRB Bulletinon August 4, 2021.
Therefore, the viral video of the damaged railway track is not from Bihar but from Madhya Pradesh. It shows the flood in Madhya Pradesh and not the floods of Bihar.
