Situation Report:
A landslide in Nepal has led to creation of a mud dam on Sunkosi, triggering an artificial lake with approximate capacity of 20 lakh cubic meters, with a possibility of a flood that could affect parts of Bihar ( Supaual, Saharsa, Madhepura, Madhubani, Araria, Dharbhanga, Khagaria, Purnia and Bhagalpur). Nepalese authorities are trying to make "controlled breaches" in it so that water can be released slowly and in less quantity to avoid calamity.
