Quick Summary

Nepal’s authorities have ordered villagers to evacuate after a flood caused by a landslide in Chumnubri village, Gorkha district, swept away several houses and two suspension bridges. The flood occurred when the Budhi Gandaki River was blocked, leading to downstream flooding that washed away a highway bridge connecting Gorkha with Dhading district. About 18 workers from a hydroelectric project also escaped after their camp was damaged by the flood. Officials are actively rescuing people at risk and monitoring the situation with helicopter support.
