Three Nepali Army helicopters are now involved in the search and rescue operations. Even though the helicopters were sent out on Saturday, bad weather hindered their ability to do their jobs efficiently.
Thirteen individuals were saved during additional rescue operations in the Kathmandu Valley, according to the ministry, in addition to the 33 victims in Sindhuli and the 32 in Makwanpur. Authorities are utilizing all available resources to restore roads that have been harmed by landslides and floods caused by continuous rainfall.
The recent disasters have resulted in 107 fatalities, 63 reported missing persons, and 73 injuries, all of which have grave consequences. The situation remains dire, and the rescuers continue to work under challenging conditions.
Security forces and relevant authorities have the green light to ensure that people who are in danger are rescued as soon as possible, to provide assistance and medical attention to those affected, and to promptly restore roads that have been damaged. This directive comes from Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak.
