Kathmandu. Residents of Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading are struggling to restore their devastated lives and resume basic services after the devastating flash floods and landslides.
The glacier in the border with China swept away houses, bridges and settlements along the border.
In the Trishuli area alone, about three hundred houses have been damaged due to heavy floods with water, stones and mudslides. Families who have lost their relatives are in mourning and many locals are still missing.
Survivors have lost their belongings, money, and clothing. Shop owners have seen their belongings swept away by the floods in a matter of minutes.
Due to the disaster, school-going children have not been able to return home. Many families have been deprived of access to medicines and food, and fuel supplies have also been disrupted.
The entire community has been divided into two sides after the bridges over the Trishuli river were washed away by the floods. A zipline is now being constructed to reconnect the villages separated by the floods. This is gradually making it easier to commute.
“We all hope that this will improve the situation,” said Maising Tamang, a local resident. Another local, Surya Kumari Tamang, said, “We have to wait for a long time, but it has helped a lot.” Another local, Suman Singh, said that the movement of vehicles in the village would be easier.
The Nepal Army is working to construct temporary bridges in the upper part of the Kathmandu Valley to resume the movement. Meanwhile, the technical team is working to restore the power supply and telephone connectivity, which has been disrupted for a long time.
However, due to the destruction of a large amount of infrastructure and property, complete reconstruction is not possible immediately. For now, the biggest challenge is to return life to normal for the flood-affected locals. (CCTVplus)
