Bihar, Uttar Pradesh on alert after Nepal floods
Bihar and Uttar Pradesh have heightened vigilance in border districts after rain and flash floods in Nepal raised concerns of rising river levels. Bihar issued high alerts in nine districts, deployed NDRF teams, and is monitoring the Valmikinagar Barrage.
Rain and flash floods in Nepal prompted Bihar and Uttar Pradesh to step up vigilance in districts bordering the neighbouring country, with authorities monitoring river levels and preparing for possible flooding.
Bihar sounded an alert in nine north Bihar districts as heavy discharge from Nepal is expected to raise water levels in the Gandak and Kosi rivers. High alerts were issued for West Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj, Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Madhubani, Supaul and Khagaria.
NDRF teams have been deployed, while the Valmikinagar Barrage on the Gandak in West Champaran is being closely monitored as water levels rise.
Bihar Chief Secretary Pratyaya Amrit held an urgent video conference with district magistrates and superintendents of police to coordinate preparedness. Uttar Pradesh also increased surveillance in districts bordering Nepal, though no specific details were provided in the report.
