Delhi-Kathmandu Bus Service Suspended Temporarily Due to Nepal Flash Floods
The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) initially reported that the Delhi-Kathmandu international bus service was operating normally despite severe flash floods in Nepal causing at least 72 deaths and extensive damage. However, due to worsening conditions and road closures on the National Highway in Nepal, the DTC later suspended bus trips scheduled for August 28 and 29 as a precaution. The bus service, running thrice weekly since 2014, connects Delhi and Kathmandu via the Sonauli border crossing.
