The water level of the Kamala River in Jhanjharpur, Madhubani district, is continuously rising and has now reached critically close to the danger mark. Heavy rainfall in Nepal is cited as the primary reason for this alarming increase. The persistent rise in water levels has heightened flood concerns in low-lying areas, causing significant worry among local residents.

According to the Central Water Commission, the Kamala Balan river's water level in Jhanjharpur is rapidly ascending. As of Saturday morning at 8 AM, the water level was recorded at 49.60 meters, just 40 centimeters below the danger mark of 50.00 meters. The Water Resources Department and local administration are closely monitoring the situation.

Continuous torrential rains in Nepal's hilly and Terai regions over the past few days have significantly increased the inflow of water into the Kamala River, leading to a swift current and record water level rise. There is a growing apprehension of water inundating villages and agricultural fields situated along the riverbanks.

Authorities have advised residents living near the river to remain vigilant and prepare for relocation to safer areas. Flood control department officials are also inspecting embankments to prevent any untoward incidents. While no major damage has been reported yet, the situation could worsen if rainfall continues in Nepal. Local communities are urged to be prepared for any emergency.
