Massive flood hit Kali Gandaki River

Locals of Tatopani VDC in Sindhupalchowk district are still gripped by fear of flooding although the water level in the Bhotekoshi River receded on Thursday.

“Incessant rainfall since Thursday morning has made locals fearful of flooding despite a decrease in the water level,” said Inspector Khum Lal Bhusal of Area Police Office (APO), Kodari. The water level in the Bhotekoshi has decreased although it is still above the normal level, he said.

Flooding washed away five additional houses on Thursday. More than 21 houses have been washed away and there has also been considerable damage to schools, hydropower projects, vehicles, and the Barhabise-Tatopani section of Araniko Highway over the last few days. Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Manoj Thapa of the Armed Police Force Tatopani Base Camp said about 200 families have been displaced due to flooding.
