Floods and Landslides Hit Jajarkot

Описание: Continuous rainfall has caused severe

flooding in Jajarkot, with floods reported in the Chaukha stream of Nalgad Municipality-11. The flood on Friday morning swept away settlements along with a suspension bridge, while road connectivity between Jajarkot, Rukum West and Dolpa has been cut off. In another affected area of Jajarkot, flooding also washed away four houses and a shop and blocked the Jajarkot-Dolpa section of the Bheri Corridor. Police and Armed Police Force teams have been deployed for rescue work and to collect details of the damage.

In Bajura, a rain-triggered landslide at Tamsu in Triveni Municipality-9 swept away two houses at around 5:15 am on Friday. One person was reported missing, and two others were injured. A rescue team later found the body of a 20-year-old girl at around 8:15 am, according to Armed Police Force Deputy Spokesperson DSP Shailendra Thapa.

Rain is continuing in the affected areas, raising concerns that rivers and streams could rise further and cause more damage. People, especially those living near rivers, streams, landslide-prone slopes, and other high-risk areas, are urged to remain alert and move to safer places if needed.
