Rescue operations continued for the fifth consecutive day on Sunday following the devastating floods on Wednesday. However, concerns are growing over the possibility of further flooding. Authorities have warned residents in affected areas to remain alert as water levels in Nepal’s Bhote Koshi River continue to rise.
Heavy mud, landslides, and damaged communication infrastructure have emerged as major obstacles to rescue efforts. If conditions deteriorate further, there is a risk of additional flooding and landslides.
