Reports say nearly 40 houses and six bridges were affected, while hydropower infrastructure, communication networks and a primary school also suffered damage. At least 10 people are reported missing, according to the supplied reports. Rescue teams are working to reach isolated communities, while 96 people, including nine foreign nationals, were rescued following the initial landslide-related emergency.

Nepal’s Gorkha district has been hit by a terrifying flood emergency after the Budhi Gandaki River surged violently, sweeping away three bridges and damaging homes and infrastructure. The sudden rise in water levels has triggered panic in Jagat and Salleri, with residents and tourists scrambling to reach safer ground as floodwaters roar through the Himalayan region near the China border. Authorities have confirmed that two suspension bridges and a steel bridge were washed away in the powerful river surge.
