At least nine people have perished, with over 100 Indians reported missing after torrential floods tore through Nepal's northern Rasuwa district on Wednesday. The catastrophic flash floods washed away homes, vehicles, bridges, and infrastructure sites, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. The deluge also triggered an alert in Bihar, India, as the waters flowed downstream. The surge originated from the Tibetan side around 9 am, wreaking havoc on Timure and Syapru Besi. Authorities are investigating a possible glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) as the cause, although it remains unclear. Videos circulating on social media show raging rivers sweeping away bridges and houses, with one video depicting a house collapsing like a pack of cards amidst panic. Rescue operations have been initiated in affected areas, but high floodwaters are preventing helicopters from landing. Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for an all-out search for missing persons in Tibet and stronger monitoring systems to prevent further disasters. In India, the Bihar government has heightened vigilance over the flooding situation in Nepal, with officials directing particular attention to districts along the Gandak and Kosi river systems. Rasuwa's Timure Bazaar, a market near the Tibet border, and nearby customs areas have been extensively damaged, with infrastructure project sites, vehicles, and goods swept away. The Friendship Bridge at Rasuwagadhi, rebuilt after last year's deadly flood, was also washed away. Nine Nepal Police personnel are missing, and three police facilities have been damaged. The flood has affected around 430 MW of electricity supply, mostly from hydropower projects. The flooding has reached Narayani Devghat, with water levels continuing to rise, prompting authorities to urge residents in settlements and market areas along the river to remain on high alert and move to safer locations. Nepal Prime Minister Balendra Shah has chaired an emergency meeting to review the flooding, damage, and rescue efforts, with police, the Nepal Army, and the Armed Police Force deployed for search and rescue operations. However, high floodwaters are hindering rescue attempts in Syapru Besi and Timure. Authorities have evacuated people living in lower-lying areas to safer locations, and traffic has been suspended amidst the flood threat. The flooding is moving downstream into the Trishuli river basin, prompting warnings for Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha, and Chitwan. Nepal Home Minister Sudan Gurung has appealed to residents along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli riverbanks to evacuate to safer areas. The Bhote Koshi originates in Tibet and flows through Nepal before joining the Trishuli river system, which eventually enters India as the Gandak. Last year's flood killed nine people, left 24 missing, washed away a bridge linking Nepal and China, and disrupted trade and transport for months. The disaster was later linked to the draining of a supraglacial lake in Tibet, according to regional climate monitors. A mudslide also struck Tibet near the Gyirong border crossing, causing casualties and leaving people missing, according to China's state-run Xinhua.
