KATHMANDU — Authorities in Nepal have issued urgent evacuation orders along the Trishuli River basin following a dramatic surge in the swollen Bhote Koshi River, sparking fears of widespread disaster.

Persistent downpours have pushed key river systems past critical danger thresholds, prompting disaster management teams to mobilize emergency rescue and relief measures in vulnerable riverside communities.

First responders remain on high alert around the clock, actively monitoring rapidly shifting water levels as meteorologists warn that continuous rainfall could trigger further flash floods and devastating landslides.
