In response to warnings from Chinese authorities, the District Administration Offices of Sindhupalchowk and Kavrepalanchowk have issued alerts for heavy rainfall anticipated in the adjoining Tibet region through the weekend.
The offices cautioned residents, especially those near the Bhotekoshi and Sunkoshi rivers, to stay vigilant, highlighting potential hazards.
