Quick Summary

Nepali soldiers and local residents are helping flood survivors cross the swollen Trishuli River in Nuwakot district by pulling them on a makeshift cable installed by the Nepal Army. The cable, which is approximately 250 meters long, provides a temporary crossing point for communities cut off after roads and bridges were destroyed. More than a week has passed since devastating floods swept through the area. Footage shows people being carried high above the fast-flowing river as they grip the cable to cross safely.

Story summary

In Nuwakot district of Nepal, survivors of devastating floods use a makeshift cable installed by the Nepal Army to cross the swollen Trisholi River in Bidur. The 250-meter-long cable serves as an essential link for communities isolated after roads and bridges were destroyed. Soldiers and local residents assist people boarding the temporary device, which carries them high above the fast-flowing river. This critical but precarious route has been operational more than a week since the floods occurred, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by those affected.
