Teku Kalopul Corridor Road Submerged Due to Continuous Rain

Continuous rain has submerged the Teku Kalopul corridor road in Kathmandu, disrupting movement as river water levels rise. The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology says a low-pressure system and monsoon influence are bringing widespread rainfall across much of Nepal, increasing flood risk in the Kathmandu Valley and other areas.
