Nepal Police Urge Public to Hand Over Valuables Found After Flash Floods
Following the devastating flash floods in Nepal on August 26, Nepal Police have urged the public not to keep, sell, or distribute valuables such as gold, silver, cash, or important documents found in flood-affected areas. Authorities request that such items be handed over to the nearest police station to help return them to rightful owners. This appeal follows a recent case where 29 people were arrested for breaking open a bank safe swept downstream by the floods. The floods have caused over 1,300 deaths and left around 5,000 people missing.
