<h2>PM Modi Assures Nepal Of Assistance</h2>
<p>India has assured Nepal of all possible assistance in dealing with the flood devastation.</p>
<p>Speaking to Nepal Prime Minister Balen Shah, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India was ready to provide all possible humanitarian assistance to the neighbouring country. He also said the people of India stood in solidarity with their brothers and sisters in Nepal during the difficult period.</p>
<p>"Our teams are working together in rescue and relief operations," PM Modi said.</p>
<h2>Bihar Intensifies Flood Preparations</h2>
<p>Amid the devastation in Nepal, preparations have also been intensified in Bihar.</p>
<p>Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary said a high-level committee had been formed to continuously monitor the situation. West Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj, Saran, Muzaffarpur and Vaishali have been instructed to remain alert and complete relief and rescue preparations.</p>
<p>NDRF and SDRF teams are being deployed. One NDRF team each will be kept on standby for Gopalganj and Bettiah, while one team will be on standby for Muzaffarpur.</p>
<h2>Satellite Images Point To Mountain Rock Slide</h2>
<p>According to reports, analysis of satellite imagery indicates that the flooding was caused by a slide of unstable mountain rocks near the Nepal-Tibet border. The location is around 20 kilometres northeast of the Tibet-Rasuwagadhi border area.</p>
<p>Nepal's National Disaster Management Department said the slide, along with rising water levels in the Lendi River on the Nepal-Tibet border, caused massive floodwaters and debris to spread through Bhotekoshi in Timure to the Trishuli River.</p>
