Due to continuous rain the current of Kaligandaki River has reached its highest point. The water level in the river has increased due to heavy rains in Mustang, Myagdi, Baglung and Parbat.

This morning the water level and current in the river reached its highest point this year. The Kaligandaki river current has been recorded at a height of six meters and 40 centimeters since morning, said gauge reader Krishna Prasad Subedi.

At one point in the morning it had reached 7.40 meters, which decreased as the rain has stopped. As a result, the Bagarphant, Baribeni, Milanchowk, Lasti, Khaniyanghat of Jaljala Rural Municipality of Parbat, Maldhunga, Nayapul, Modibeni of Kushma Municipality, Jaiminighat of Phalebas Municipality and Setiveni Bazaar of Bihadi Rural Municipality are at high risk of flooding by the Kaligandaki river.

Setiveni Bazaar, located on the border of Parbat, Syangja and Gulmi, is at risk of being submerged when floods occur due to the dam of the Kaliganda 'A' Hydropower Project. All the gates of the dam have been opened. With the increase in the flow of Kaligandaki and Setikhola, the Setiveni Bazaar is in danger of being submerged. (RSS)
