KATHMANDU: Persistent rainfall across the Kathmandu Valley has caused water levels in the Bagmati and Bishnumati rivers to rise significantly.

Authorities have issued a warning urging local residents to remain on high alert as water levels continue to climb in riverbank communities and low-lying areas vulnerable to inundation.

Concerned agencies have advised the public to avoid unnecessary movement near river corridors, coastal areas, and flood-prone settlements.

With continuous rain forecast to persist, officials warned that river discharges could escalate further, prompting calls for heightened vigilance among nearby communities.
