Kathmandu: In the Kathmandu Metropolitan City, there are 107 locations affected by high floodwaters. The Metropolitan City has identified these locations based on the initial preparation and assessment of flood-prone areas in various wards.

Due to the overflow of rainwater, gradual inundation, increased flow in drainage systems, failure of proper water discharge during the monsoon, and lack of proper outlets for sewage and runoff, many areas of the metropolis are at risk of flooding. This information was provided by Devendra Pokharel, Chief of the Disaster Management Department of the Metropolitan City.

According to Pokharel, around 95 locations out of the initial 107 identified locations are prone to flooding from various wards. The details for the remaining locations have been prepared by the Metropolitan City itself.
