Tista River water levels near danger mark in Nilphamari due to upstream flooding

Water levels in the Tista River, flowing through Nilphamari, have risen significantly due to heavy rainfall in the upstream areas. As of Saturday morning, the water level at the Doyani point in Lalmonirhat was measured 13 centimeters below the danger mark. This increase has raised concerns about potential flooding in areas adjacent to the Tista River. While some low-lying areas are experiencing inundation, homes in the char regions have not yet been affected. Local residents fear that the situation could escalate into a flood if the water levels continue to rise. However, the Water Development Board reports that the water level has started to recede and the situation is currently under control.
