After incessant rain, the Hanumante river flowing through Bhaktapur's Jagati, Tourism Market, Sallaghari and Radheradhe has now reached the surface level.

The police said that the flow of water in the river is increasing rapidly.

If the continuous rain continues, the administration has asked the residents near the river to take high vigilance and precautions, saying that there is a high possibility that the river will enter the settlement area by this evening and flood it at night.
