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.

Story summary
On October 11, 2026, residents along the Budhi Gandaki river in north-central Nepal evacuated as flash flooding destroyed homes and other structures. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority warned others to move to safer areas while remaining on alert until late Sunday. A dry landslide in Gorkha district, about 100 km west of Kathmandu, blocked the Budhi Gandaki River, leading to downstream flooding that swept away several houses, sheds, a bridge, and parts of a hydroelectric project camp. Videos from social media showed homes being washed away by the swollen river flowing between tall mountains. No immediate reports of casualties were available. The disaster management agency is focusing on recovery efforts, including restoring roads and bridges cut off by floods, especially in remote areas where damaged infrastructure hinders aid deliveries.

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.
