India Monitors Flash Floods in Nepal, Prepares for Potential Impact
The Indian government is monitoring flash floods in Nepal that may affect Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has communicated with the Chief Ministers of both states regarding preparedness measures. The Central Water Commission reported a rise in the Trishuli river's water level, potentially caused by a flash flood or glacial lake outburst flood near the Nepal-China border. Local administrations and the National Disaster Response Force are on high alert in vulnerable districts. Precautionary measures, including evacuations, have been initiated in border areas. The situation is reportedly under control, with no immediate cause for panic, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
