Story summary

Nepal ended search and rescue operations on October 5, 2026, more than a month after devastating floods that killed at least 1,455 people and left over 5,285 missing. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) chief, Dharam Raj Uprety, stated that while active searches would stop, authorities will still recover remains or property found during the rehabilitation process. Prime Minister Balendra Shah's office officially suspended non-essential search operations, shifting focus to reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts. The government plans to amend laws to facilitate death registration for those missing, allowing families access to relief funds and compensation. Survivors like Madan Lal Lawat in Kathmandu are now forced to honor the dead through symbolic rituals due to the inability to recover bodies or declare deaths legally within Nepal's 12-year presumption period.
