The District Administration Office (DAO) has urged the public to remain highly cautious from Oct 3 to 6, citing forecasts of active monsoon conditions across several provinces.
According to the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology’s Forecasting Division, heavy rainfall is expected in Koshi, Madhes, Bagmati, Gandaki, and Lumbini provinces.
Following this forecast, the DAO has advised heightened preparedness. Authorities have particularly warned that sudden floods could occur in small rivers and streams of Kathmandu Valley, Kavrepalanchok, Makwanpur, and other districts.
The risk of floods, inundation, landslides, and soil erosion remains high. Travelers on the Kanti Highway and roads linking Bagmati Rural Municipality, Konjyosom Rural Municipality, and Mahankal Rural Municipality have been asked to exercise extra caution.
The DAO has further suggested avoiding nighttime travel unless absolutely necessary. Residents in vulnerable areas are urged to remain vigilant from Oct 3 to 6, take precautionary measures to reduce risks, and follow instructions issued by security agencies or local governments.
