Nepal flash flood raises flood risk in Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath orders alert in border districts
A devastating flash flood in Nepal has raised concerns across neighbouring areas of Uttar Pradesh which led authorities to step up preparedness in vulnerable districts along the India-Nepal border. At least 46 people have been killed and more than 500 remain missing after a sudden flood in Nepal’s Rasuwa district, reportedly triggered by a massive surge of water from the Tibet side. Rescue and relief operations are underway in Nepal following the disaster. In view of the potential impact on downstream areas, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed the administrations of Maharajganj and Kushinagar to ensure all necessary preparations are in place.
