· Some of Nepal’s biggest river systems originate in the Himalayan glaciers which then flow into India through Bihar.
· It is a necessity that there is process-driven coordination between the Centre and the Government of Bihar to handle the flooding in Nepal’s Terai and North Bihar
· It is essential that Nepal shows the required will to find a long-term solution with India in ending a perennial disaster.
· After sustained coordination between the Centre and the State (Bihar) and expedited interventions by India with Nepal, Kathmandu gave its conditional permission for manpower and machinery operation in the Nepal area of Kosi basin.
· In the best spirit of friendship, Nepal and India should restart the water dialogue and come up with policies to safeguard the interests of all those who have been affected on both sides of the border.

· Moreover, it is also linked to how the Himalayan glaciers and the green cover are managed.
