State Minister for Women, Children and Social Welfare Ram Bachan Yadav and former state minister for home affairs Devendra Raj Dandel were also in the team.
The current water flow (271,000 cusec) has been constantly weakening spurs of the embankment, though it was constructed to withhold 850,000 cusec water flow, inviting a high risk of embankment bursting.
The team also made field inspection of the land being breached by the river. The flood has started breaching Spur No 2 and 3 of the embankment on the Nepali side.
Earlier, locals had halted construction of Gandak canal being executed by India citing poor quality of work.
They had maintained that the repair work carried out by India in and around canal was inferior.
