Floods-hit local units seek urgent supplies, power and infrastructure repairs
Summary
Flood-hit local units in Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha and Tanahun are urgently seeking food, medicine, solar panels, generators, ambulances and bridge repairs after last week’s devastating Bhotekoshi floods. Roads, power lines, mobile networks and bridges have been destroyed, leaving thousands displaced, missing or cut off from relief.
Key Points
- Local units affected by the Bhotekoshi floods are asking the federal and provincial governments for urgent food, medicine, solar power, generators, ambulances and bridge repairs.
- Gosaikunda, Uttargaya and Ama Chhodingmo in Rasuwa remain badly cut off, with residents short of basic supplies and communication networks down.
- Bidur Municipality in Nuwakot says temporary Bailey bridges are needed immediately after Trishuli bridges were destroyed and hundreds of homes and schools were washed away.
- Officials in Dhading, Gorkha and Tanahun have also sought help to clear debris, restore access roads and prevent disease outbreaks.
