The water levels of the Swarnarekha and Kharkai rivers, which flow through the city, are steadily rising and remain above the danger mark. This situation could lead to flooding in low-lying areas, prompting the administration to urge residents to stay vigilant. On Monday, the water level of the Swarnarekha River at the Mango Bridge site was recorded at 122.46 meters, while the danger level is 121.50 meters. Similarly, the water level of the Kharkai River at the Adityapur Bridge site reached 131.00 meters, exceeding its danger level of 129.00 meters. The continued rise in water levels in both rivers has heightened concerns for the administration. The district administration and the disaster management team are fully alert, closely monitoring vulnerable areas. Local residents are advised to disregard rumors and follow administrative guidelines. Public announcements are being made in low-lying areas to alert people, and rescue teams are prepared for emergencies. If water levels continue to rise, residents of low-lying areas may be relocated to safer locations. The local administration urges citizens to avoid the riverbanks and to contact the toll-free number or local administration immediately in any emergency. Citizens are also advised to take special care of children and the elderly. All citizens are advised to remain vigilant and safe, as the administration closely monitors the situation, with all possible efforts being made to prevent any loss of life.
