KATHMANDU, Oct 2: The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) has urged everyone to remain cautious as the possibility of heavy rain is predicted in Koshi and Bagmati provinces for the next two days.

The NDRRMA issued a notice on Wednesday stating that there is a risk of landslides as the land has been soggy following heavy rain from September 26 to 28. The NDRRMA has urged everyone to take essential precautions as there remains a significant risk of landslides even during light rainfall and sudden floods in any river.

The NDRRMA has urged the public to travel cautiously while traveling in the risk of landslides, to stop the vehicle in safe places when heavy rain is expected to occur, and to travel only after the rain stops. The NDRRMA has urged everyone to observe high vigilance due to the possibility of sudden floods in the settlements near rivers.
