Heavy rainfall in Nepal has triggered landslides and flash flooding, resulting in significant loss of life and property. The authorities have shut schools in flood-hit areas for an unspecified number of days. The capital city has experienced heavy rainfall, with some areas receiving up to 322.2 mm (12.7 inches) of rain. The disaster has also caused significant damage to infrastructure, with at least 322 houses and 16 bridges damaged.
The government's priority right now is to rescue the people and help those who have been affected.
Acting Prime Minister and Minister for Urban Development Prakash Man Singh held an emergency meeting with several ministers, including the Home Minister and chiefs of security agencies, to expedite search and rescue operations.
I've never before seen flooding on this scale in Kathmandu.
We have urged the concerned authorities to close schools in the affected areas for three days.
