The Gandak, Ganga, Kosi, Bagmati and Ghagra rivers are flowing above the danger mark at several locations after heavy rainfall in Nepal and Uttar Pradesh, officials said.

The surge further exerted pressure on embankments and low-lying areas downstream in West Champaran, Gopalganj, Saran, Vaishali and Muzaffarpur districts.
