Several huts collapsed during the storm, and many houses lost their asbestos roofs because of the powerful wind. The storm also knocked down multiple electricity poles, which affected the power supply in nearby areas.

A fallen electric pole blocked the road and stopped traffic for some time. Local residents faced difficulties moving around at night because of the damage and darkness.

Officials and local teams started assessing the damage after the storm. Authorities may provide help to families whose homes suffered heavy losses. Residents now hope the weather will remain stable in the coming days.

Officials said the flooding began after intense rainfall in Nepal on Thursday evening. The water level in the Kankai and Budhi Kankai rivers rose rapidly and affected areas in the Dighalbank block along the India–Nepal border.

Strong currents destroyed temporary bridges at several points including Palsa, Mandirtola, Balwadangi and Kanchanbari Ghat. Villages such as Dakupura and Talatola have turned into small islands, making travel and supply of daily essentials difficult for residents.

The Unseasonal Floods in Bihar also stopped ongoing bridge and road construction near the border. Floodwater damaged a temporary diversion built for a new bridge project, forcing authorities to halt the work until the water level drops.
