Water levels in the Bagmati River and its tributaries have surged, raising the risk of flooding in several parts of the Kathmandu Valley.

At the Khokana monitoring station in Lalitpur, the Bagmati River has crossed the alert level of 3.5 meters, reaching 3.58 meters. Similarly, the Manohara River at the Balkumari station has exceeded its alert level of 4.4 meters. The Nakhu River is also experiencing a steady rise in water levels.

Meteorologists warn that continuous rainfall is likely over the next 24 hours, potentially causing flood risks similar to last year.

Areas around Hanumante, Bishnumati, and Nakhu rivers—including the Medicity surroundings, Kalimati vegetable market, Balkhu vegetable market, and nearby settlements—are at high risk of inundation.

Authorities have urged residents to remain alert and take precautionary measures to stay safe from possible flooding.
