KATHMANDU, Aug 8: Incessant rainfall across the nation, including the Kathmandu Valley, has led to a notable surge in the water levels of rivers and streams.

The Flood Forecasting Division has issued a vigilant advisory as the water levels of rivers adjacent to regions like Budhanilkantha, Sundarijal, Nagarkot, and the surrounding areas of Kathmandu Valley have risen significantly due to the intense rainfall since last night.

The water level in Bishnumati, Dhobikhola, and Manohara rivers in particular have reached the critical threshold. Consequently, the Division has urged residents residing in coastal areas and individuals journeying along riverside roads to maintain a state of high alertness until 11 AM.
