Nepal Police Deny Social Media Claims of Withholding Flood Relief Supplies
Nepal Police have denied social media allegations that security forces hoarded and failed to distribute flood relief materials following devastating floods triggered by an ice-rock avalanche near the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26. The police described these claims as false and baseless, emphasizing that personnel from the Nepali Army, Police, and Armed Police Force have been actively involved in rescue, relief, and rehabilitation efforts. The floods have caused over 1,365 deaths and left more than 5,326 people missing across several districts.
