At least 20 Indian river sites across India continue to remain under flood risk, as per the Central Water Commission (CWC)'s daily flood bulletin issued on Friday. Among these, one location in Assam and two in Bihar are experiencing severe flood conditions.
The sites under severe flood conditions are located along the Brahmaputra and its tributaries in Assam's Golaghat, and Ganga's tributaries of Bagmati and Gandak in Muzaffarpur and Gopalganj respectively. Water levels at these sites have crossed the danger mark, the bulletin noted.
CWC has flagged flood concerns in these 20 locations, primarily in Assam, Bihar, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal. The Brahmaputra and Ganga river systems account for most of the high-risk sites. However, no rivers have breached their all-time high flood levels so far.
The CWC classified the flood situation at 17 locations as “above normal”. The warning level at several sites has been sustained over the past 24 hours.
