Flooding in the Bagmati-Bishnumati river

Floods have occurred in the Bagmati, Bishnumati, and other valley rivers and streams. The Bagmati neighborhood is completely flooded.

The Flood Forecasting Division has advised people to remain vigilant until noon today due to flooding in the Punyamati, Hanumante, Manohara, and other rivers.

Similarly, heavy rain has fallen in Gwanti and the surrounding Dailekh areas. The Flood Forecasting Division has warned residents to be cautious because there is a risk of flooding in the area’s small rivers and streams, as well as landslides in the steep areas.

The division has asked for caution as the flow of water has increased in other areas where it rained overnight. Today will most likely bring light to moderate rain to many parts of the country.
