Fulbari, 27th September: The Mahananda Barrage in Fulbari has swelled significantly due to incessant rain, prompting the opening of several lock gates. Water is now flowing at a fast pace.
Reports indicate that continuous rainfall in both the hills and plains has led to a substantial rise in the water level of the Mahananda River.
