Updated:9 months, 1 week ago

Kathmandu (Nepal), Oct 06 (ANI): The death toll in Nepal now stands at 52 following days of heavy rainfall triggering floods, landslides, lightning and road accidents all across the nation. At least seven have remained unaccounted in the rain-induced disaster, which so far has left 29 people injured, the Armed Police Force announced on Sunday evening. Nepal, since early Saturday morning, has been receiving rainfall under the influence of moisture-laden monsoon winds from the Bay of Bengal, which have triggered widespread rain across the Himalayan Nation. Out of the seven provinces, the two-day heavy rain resulted in the heaviest losses in the Koshi Province, bordering India. In Madhesh Province, the southern plains of Nepal, three people were killed and one was injured in Rautahat after being struck by lightning, while search operations are underway for one missing person in Bara. Authorities are continuing rescue and relief operations as heavy rainfall and the risk of further landslides persist across several regions.
