Heavy rains in Nepal have caused a breach in the Gandak embankment, prompting flood warnings across several districts in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
The Gandak embankment, which runs along the border between Nepal and India, has been breached after sustained heavy rainfall in the Nepalese side.
Officials in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh have issued flood alerts for several districts that lie downstream of the breach, warning residents to stay alert.
The breach is expected to release a large volume of water into the Gandak River, potentially raising water levels in low-lying areas.
Local authorities are mobilizing flood control measures and have advised communities to prepare for possible displacement.
