Gandaki river in central Nepal's Gorkha district. Videos showed a dark, debris-filled torrent surging through the hills. No deaths have been confirmed; 95 people, including nine foreigners, were rescued Sunday. Army spokesman Raja Ram Basnet said four helicopters were deployed, with rescue and relief efforts ongoing. About 150 foreign trekkers remain in the area, many on the popular Manaslu circuit trek, according to the Trekking Agencies' Association of Nepal, which is working with authorities to rescue those stranded by damaged roads. Aid is being delivered to affected communities, and the flood also struck hydropower plants. Preliminary data suggests a landslide dammed the river before it burst, sending water surging downstream. Resident Indra Bahadur Gurung described screaming to get people out minutes before the flood crashed through. Prime Minister Balendra Shah said the government had begun steps to restore normal life, urging residents to stay in safe locations and avoid risky travel. Nepal is still recovering from August 26 floods triggered by a glacial collapse that killed over 1,400 people and left 5,000 missing—events Shah called "a warning to the world" about climate change. Experts stressed the need for better monitoring. Basanta Raj Adhikari of Tribhuvan University said traditional river-level warning systems are insufficient, suggesting satellite imagery and seismometers could detect events earlier. The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development said understanding the flood's trigger is critical for reducing future risks and building resilience. Heavy rainfall in late September had already killed at least 21 people in floods and landslides. (Bssnews)
