The Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) has reported that all major rivers in the north-eastern region of the country are experiencing a rising trend, which is expected to continue over the next 24 hours starting from 9 am on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Brahmaputra-Jamuna and Ganges-Padma rivers remain steady, a trend likely to persist over 24 hours, according to the FFWC.

The Met Office has forecasted heavy to very heavy rainfall in the northern, north-eastern, and adjoining upstream regions of the country over 24-72 hours.

As a consequence, the Teesta, Dharla, and Dudhkumar rivers in the northern region, along with several rivers in the north-eastern region, may experience rapid rises over the next 72 hours.
