What happened
Road connectivity to Rasuwa District is severely challenged by damage near the Trishuli River, which has halted critical relief operations. Repair work on a damaged stretch, measuring approximately 500 meters, is underway but has been paused due to heavy rainfall and the threat of further flooding. The area is one of the worst affected by flash floods that occurred on August 26.
