Heavy Rainfall Triggers Floods and Landslides, Killing 21 in Nepal
Relentless rainfall across Nepal since September 24 has caused fresh floods, landslides, and widespread damage, killing at least 21 people and leaving five missing. Rivers including the Tinau, Narayani, and Riu have crossed danger levels, prompting evacuations of thousands, especially in Rupandehi, Chitwan, and other districts. The disaster follows last month's flash floods that killed over 1,450 people and left thousands missing. Authorities continue rescue operations and urge residents near rivers to stay alert amid ongoing heavy rain and disrupted road traffic.
