Authorities Bar Vehicles on Riverside Corridors Amid Rising Water Levels

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) has directed a 12-hour restriction on vehicular movement along corridor roads beside rivers in the Kathmandu Valley, effective until 6:00 am on Sunday, October 5.

In a notice issued Saturday evening, the authority urged the three district administration offices in the Valley to bar vehicles from these river corridor roads, citing a forecast of heavy to very heavy rainfall beginning late Saturday.

NDRRMA warned of possible inundation of riverside roads as water levels in rivers and streams are expected to rise further overnight. The authority urged all residents to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.
