A school principal in Nepal evacuates about 900 students before flash floods sweep away the school, according to multiple reports. Rajendra Dawadi is described as making a rapid decision after being warned that floodwaters were moving through the Trishuli Valley.
The accounts say Dawadi was in his classroom when the school’s accountant alerted him to the incoming danger. In response, he orders students to leave before the flooding reaches the area, helping prevent casualties as water damages homes, bridges and nearby villages.
The outlets largely agree on the central timeline—warning, evacuation, and the subsequent destruction of the school by floodwaters—and on the scale of the evacuation. While one outlet focuses on Dawadi’s role in saving students, others add local context about the broader damage across the valley. None of the summaries provided dispute the figure of approximately 900 students evacuated or the basic sequence of events.
