The Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) has reported that all major rivers in the northeastern region of the country are experiencing a rising trend in water level, which is expected to continue over the next 24 hours starting from 9am on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Brahmaputra-Jamuna and Ganges-Padma rivers remain steady, a trend likely to persist over 24 hours, according to the FFWC.
The met office has forecasted heavy to very heavy rainfall in the northern, northeastern, and adjoining upstream regions of the country over 24-72 hours.
As a consequence, the Teesta, Dharla, and Dudhkumar rivers in the northern region, along with several rivers in the northeastern region, may experience rapid rises over the next 72 hours.
