According to Armed Police Force Superintendent Govinda Bahadur Khati, water that started entering Tharu Tol on Friday has reached 165 homes. Khati said 78 families were moved Friday afternoon to a holding center in Susta, and 85 more households were shifted after flooding reached Sainik Tol and Badka Tol overnight. Onlinekhabar reported the Gandak Barrage flow at 267,000 cusecs at 7 a.m. Saturday, with the river still rising.
Why it matters: For DMV Nepalis tracking conditions back home, the key signals are evacuations already underway in Susta and rising water at the Gandak Barrage. If your family is near the Narayani belt, this is a check-in moment.
