LPG cylinders, tyres, and wood: Debris from Nepal floods choke Gandak river in UP
Debris, including LPG cylinders, tyres, cupboards and wood, all swept away from flood-affected areas of Nepal, has also been spotted on the banks of Gandak.
Heavy floods in Nepal have dumped a massive amount of debris, including LPG cylinders, tires, wood, and silt, into the Gandak River near Kushinagar and Maharajganj districts in Uttar Pradesh. Irrigation authorities have temporarily halted canals due to fears that the sediment could obstruct the system. Chief engineer Vikas Singh reported that nearly 13 cubic meters of silt have been added to the river, posing a significant threat. Local officials are monitoring the river and advising residents to stay clear of the water.
