Rescue operations downstream in China resumed on Friday following a brief suspension caused by rising flood risks along the border between Nepal and Tibet. Emergency efforts had been temporarily halted after a barrier lake on the frontier overflowed, raising concerns about potential downstream flooding. However, Chinese state broadcaster reported that rescue activities were cleared to restart after officials determined that the flood risks had become manageable.
