Nepal Forms Parliamentary Panel to Assess Economic Impact of Rasuwa Flood
Nepal's House of Representatives has formed a seven-member parliamentary sub-committee to assess the economic impact of the August 26 Rasuwa flash flood and examine climate change and climate finance issues. Coordinated by lawmaker Sushila Khadka, the panel includes members from multiple parties and is tasked with submitting a report by September 18. The flood, caused by an ice-rock avalanche near the Nepal-Tibet border, caused extensive damage and casualties, prompting Nepal's diplomatic efforts for climate-related compensation.
