Floods wreak havoc in Sunsari

Almost all the places of Sunsari have been inundated due to incessant rainfall. 

Most of the settlements of the southern part of Sunsari have been submerged after the flooded river gushed into the settlements and due to the poor drainage system. 

Bhokraha Narsingh Rural Municipality, Koshi Rural Municipality, Itahari Sub-Metropolitan City, Duhabi Municipality, Harinagara Rural Municipality and Barju Rural Municipality among others have been inundated due to the torrential rainfall for the past three days. 

Indradev Yadav, Chief District Officer of Sunsari, said that around 70 families of Bhokraha Narsingh Rural Municipality-5 and 7 have been displaced due to floods.

He said that Barju ward No. 5, Duhabi-12, Koshi-2, Inaruwa-4, 6 and 8 have been deluged.

It has been estimated that around 1, 000 houses have been inundated in Sunsari. 

The flood-displaced 150 families have been kept in schools and public places. 

A joint team of Nepal Army, Armed Police Force and Nepal Police have been deputed in the flood-affected areas.
