India puts NDRF on high alert in UP, Bihar as Nepal faces flood crisis

India is closely monitoring the ongoing flood crisis in Nepal and has activated disaster response protocols domestically. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has been placed on high alert in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, the Indian states bordering Nepal, to respond to any potential spillover effects.

The precautionary measures come as Nepal deals with severe flooding. Authorities in the affected Indian states are prepared to mobilise resources and personnel if the situation deteriorates or impacts cross-border areas.
