K-pop star Lee Know, member of Stray Kids, donates 100 million won towards Nepal floods relief work

The devastating flash floods in Nepal’s Bhote Koshi River that swept through Nuwakot and Dhading districts on Wednesday triggered an alert in the neighbouring states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in India, where authorities intensified monitoring and precautionary measures. The Bhote Koshi River is a headwater tributary of the Kosi River system, which enters northern Bihar in Supaul after flowing through Nepal.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Indian government has issued an advisory after a sudden rise in the water level of Nepal’s Trishuli river at Furke Khola, around 160 km from the Indian border, was reported amid suspected glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) activity near the Nepal-China border. The advisory said the flood wave is expected to move downstream into the Gandak River, with its intensity likely to reduce as it travels.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;Meanwhile, authorities in UP and Bihar have stepped up preparations to deal with the situation that could arise due to the heavy flow of water downstream.&nbsp;Several major rivers flow from Nepal into Bihar, most notably the Gandak River (also known as the Narayani) and the Kosi River. These rivers originate in the Himalayas and Tibet before entering the Indian plains.&nbsp;<h2>Bihar issues advisory amid flood alert</h2>&nbsp;Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary held a meeting with officials over flood alert and constituted a high-level committee to continuously monitor the developing situation. Authorities in Bihar expect a surge in water flow into the Gandak River.&nbsp;“A high-level team has been constituted.

People living on the banks of the Gandak River and in low-lying areas should not go near the river unnecessarily. Ignore any rumours and rely only on official information issued by the administration. In case of a rise in water level or any other warning, immediately follow the instructions issued by the administration,” the advisory said.&nbsp;Authorities in Bihar’s West Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj and Muzaffarpur stepped up preparedness, including evacuation of residents from vulnerable areas to safer locations.&nbsp;In view of the potential flood threat in Bihar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke to Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary over the phone.

The floods, triggered by heavy rains and a reported glacier burst in the Rasuwa area near the border with China, have left hundreds missing. Nepal’s Tourism Board confirmed that at least 291 foreign nationals remain unaccounted for, including 105 Indian tourists. Many were visiting popular trekking and pilgrimage sites in the region when the disaster struck. The Indian Embassy in Kathmandu has issued emergency contact numbers for assistance and information: +977 985 131 6807 and +977 970 910 7500. Embassy urged affected Indian nationals and their families to reach out immediately for support.&nbsp;In New Delhi, Home Minister Amit Shah spoke to Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary about the escalating flood threat posed by the Nepal rains and glacier burst. The deluge risks spilling across the shared border into northern Bihar districts. Home Minister pledged India’s full support and confirmed that teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been mobilised and placed on high alert for rapid deployment if needed.&nbsp;First consignments of Indian relief material could move within hours, using both road and air routes depending on access conditions in the affected mountainous terrain. India, as Nepal’s closest neighbour and longstanding partner, is expected to play a leading role in the immediate response.&nbsp;This latest show of solidarity echoes India’s extensive support after the devastating 2015 earthquake that killed nearly 9,000 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless. Within hours of that disaster, India launched Operation Maitri, deploying military aircraft, medical teams, engineering units, and large quantities of relief supplies. Indian forces helped clear roads, set up field hospitals, and evacuate the injured, while the government provided hundreds of millions of dollars in reconstruction aid over subsequent years.

India is preparing to send emergency relief supplies to flood-hit Nepal, while mobilising NDRF teams and offering assistance as heavy rains and a reported glacier burst leave hundreds missing and threaten northern Bihar.
