Relentless rainfall over the weekend triggers flooding and landslides in parts of Nepal, with river waters overflowing and damaging homes. NDTV reports that floods from the Narayani and Saptakoshi rivers inundate 389 houses in Nawalparasi West and Saptari, prompting the displacement of hundreds of families.
Other outlets describe impacts in western areas as rivers swell. Business Line - Home says a police official warns that around 200 houses along the riverbank in Butwal are at risk, and that security personnel evacuate about 1,000 people overnight after the Tinau and nearby streams rise. The Hindu adds that in Rupandehi district, part of Lumbini province, floodwaters from the Tinau River sweep away six houses along the riverbank in Butwal after the river rises above its danger level, citing reporting by the Kathmandu Post.
While the locations and figures vary by report, all describe the same pattern: ongoing rain leads to rapid river rises, which in turn cause flooding, house damage, and evacuations across multiple districts.
