Rainfall alert: Take higher precaution for next three days

KATHMANDU, May 27: The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) has warned the general public to remain vigilant of risks of flood and landslide for next three days in view of pre-monsoon rainfall.

The Authority has also urged the concerned agencies to put in place necessary preparation to avoid possible loss of lives and properties from rain-induced disasters. As rainfall is likely to take place in most of the parts of the country on May 27-29 due to the emergence of cyclone in West Bengal, it may trigger disasters, said Authority Chief Anil Pokharel.
