Chitwan, Sept 24 : The water level in the Narayani river has crossed the danger mark following the incessant rain since the last three days.

Chief hydrologist at Narayani Basin Field Office Bharatpur, Ram Bikesh Raya said the river level was at 8.08 metres at 10.30 this morning.
The river level crossing more than eight metres is considered danger level. It was 10,229 cubic metres per second.
Before this, the river level was the highest on July 2. It was the highest level in 44 years. On that day the river level was measured 9.91 metres at 9 am.
