As healing and recovery efforts intensified on Monday, the death toll from the disastrous floods and landslides in Nepal has increased to 193.
The southeastern part of the capital city, Kathmandu, was greatly affected by the flood, resulting in numerous deaths. According to a police statement, 31 individuals are also reported missing, and 96 people have sustained injury across the country.
Three dozen people were killed by a tragic landslide on a blocked highway about 16 kilometers ( 10 miles ) from Kathmandu. Because the roadway was blocked, the disaster caused the blocking of at least three trucks and other vehicles to go underground.
Isolated throughout the trip
According to mudslides that blocked the three major highways leaving Kathmandu, the town remained isolated over the weekend. However, employees managed to partially restart the vital Prithvi bridge by clearing rocks, dirt, and branches that had been washed down from the mountains.
The home secretary made plans to build temporary shelters for those who had lost their homes and offer financial aid to the families of the deceased and injured.
Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli, who was returning from the UN General Assembly conference, has called for an urgent meeting to address the situation.
Save operations live
As climate conditions improved, recovery and restoration efforts have been intensified.
Residents of Kathmandu’s southern region, which was greatly flooded on Saturday, have begun mowing down their homes as water levels started to wane. The capital reported the highest number of casualties, with at least 34 people losing their lives.
While large technology is being used to clear mudslides from the highways, officers and soldiers are assisting with save operations. For the next three weeks, the government has announced that all schools and colleges in Nepal will be shut down.
” Raisen above its danger level.”
In northeastern Bangladesh, the Teesta River has quickly risen above its threat level, inundating broad swaths of land across five districts. The rising floodwaters have wreaked havoc on agricultural area, destroying several crops, including “paddy and vegetables”, as well as fishing facilities. Many farmers are therefore dealing with significant economic setbacks as a result of the extensive damage the deluge has caused.
” Everything is gone,” he says.
The Bagmati river and its many tributaries tangled with the Kathmandu canyon, and the river overflowed their boundaries. The delicate, timber and plate metal structures that are the site of numerous people’s homes along the rivers were blasted by the raging flood waters.
A 65-year-old native expressed his astonishment and anguish, stating,” This is like a dream. I have not experienced for a severe storm in my life. He felt completely lost as a result of the flood’s disastrous effects, adding,” Everything is gone.”
India in conversations with Nepal
Union minister of state for house, Nityanand Rai, defended the Centre’s allocation of Rs 11, 500 million for Bihar’s storm concerns in the Budget for the years 2024 and 2025. He claimed the government was negotiating with Nepal for a long-term solution.
According to Rai, who reviewed the role of the national disaster response force ( NDRF ) in tackling the rescue and relief operations with its state counterpart,” Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah have been working with active cooperation of CM Nitish Kumar.”
” Modi and the next Nepal PM spoke with him about the Bihar flood trouble, and a team of experts came to the country in October 2023,” Modi said. It discussed the structure of the Saptkosi higher dam, the Sunkosi diversion barrage, and the flood brought on by the river Kamla, Rai continued.
