The decision to halt searches was made at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Balendra Shah and follows recommendations from various committees and inspection teams. With the shift towards reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts, Nepal plans to allocate over Rs 559 billion for recovery programs.

Story summary
Nepal ended its search and rescue operations on October 5, 40 days after devastating floods hit the country on August 26. The floods killed at least 1,455 people and left over 5,000 individuals, including 189 Indians, still missing. Phanindra Paudel, chief of the National Emergency Operation Centre, announced that authorities would now focus on rehabilitation efforts rather than active search for survivors or bodies. Dharam Raj Uprety from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority stated that while no longer searching actively, remains, property, and other valuables will still be recovered if found during the rehabilitation process. The government is also considering declaring missing individuals dead to assist their families with insurance and legal formalities. Additionally, Nepal plans to drain four glacial lakes in mountainous areas to mitigate future flood risks.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
