Story summary
On Sunday, flash flooding along the Budhi Gandaki river in north-central Nepal forced evacuations in villages. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority ordered residents to move to safer areas and remained on alert until late Sunday night. A landslide in Gorkha district, approximately 100 km west of Kathmandu, blocked the river, leading to downstream flooding that destroyed homes, bridges, and infrastructure. Videos circulating online show houses and other structures being swept away by the swollen river. While no casualties have been reported yet, at least 10 people are missing. The flood impacted several towns including Arughat, a key transportation hub connecting Kathmandu with other regions. The disaster management agency is still assessing the full extent of damage, which includes the destruction of around 35 homes and six bridges in the area.
