Kathmandu: The Flood Forecasting Division has stated that the flood-induced risk is still persisting in the Bhotekoshi area in Rasuwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although water levels are currently normal in Bhotekoshi and Trishuli, there is a risk of outburst of lakes formed by blocked rivers in the upper regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In view of the risk, the Division has urged people not to move near the riverbanks and to pay attention to early warning information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Binod Parajuli, a flood expert from the Division, informed RSS that the size of the lake formed by the blocked river at the flood site has increased, posing a risk of bursting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He cited preliminary analysis of information received from the Chinese government and satellite images to make the assertion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe lake formed by the blocked river is growing, and there is a risk of its bursting. If the lake bursts, rocks, soil, and debris could roll down with the water and cause sudden flooding in the downstream areas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlthough the flow of the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers is currently below alert levels after the flood in Bhotekoshi, we have urged a high alert in the downstream areas. If the flood risk increases, we will issue early warnings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considering this risk, the Division has advised residents, travelers, and rescuers in the downstream areas of Bhotekoshi to stay away from riverbanks and other hazardous areas until further notice.
