Continuous rainfall has raised the water level of the Manohara River at Chyasal in Lalitpur, prompting authorities to urge people living near the river to remain alert. The Armed Police Force Nepal’s No. 21 Battalion, based in Lalitpur Dakshinkali, has been kept ready for deployment in view of the potential risk.
Alert issued for riverside areas
The administration’s warning covers areas around the Manohara River, where residents have been asked to stay vigilant as the water level rises. The alert follows continuous rainfall and the resulting increase in the river’s flow at Chyasal.
The immediate concern identified by authorities is the possibility of risk to people living close to the river. The warning is precautionary: residents in the affected riverside areas have been asked to remain watchful while the situation develops. The reports do not specify a particular neighbourhood beyond the areas around the river, nor do they provide a measurement of the water level.
Armed Police Force kept ready
The No. 21 Battalion of the Armed Police Force Nepal, stationed in Lalitpur Dakshinkali, has been placed on standby with necessary preparations in place. The force is ready for deployment if the situation requires a response. The available information does not say that the battalion has already been deployed.
Keeping the battalion ready is part of the authorities’ preparations for the potential risk associated with the rising water. No further details have been provided about the specific resources prepared or the conditions that would trigger deployment. The main steps confirmed so far are the alert to residents near the river and the readiness of the security force.
