Even minor additional rain could trigger large landslides, and there is a risk of sudden floods in any river,” the authority stated in its notice.
The authority has also advised travellers to be vigilant. In case of heavy rain, the public is urged to halt vehicles at safe locations and assess risks before continuing their journey.
