Nepal Floods: 589 People Rescued From Trishuli, Including 20 Foreign Nationals
Kathmandu: Rescue teams in flood-hit Nepal have stepped up efforts in the Trishuli region as the country continues to deal with a devastating flood crisis.
According to a Nepal Army official, 589 people were rescued from the Trishuli area today. The rescued group includes 569 Nepali citizens and 20 foreign nationals.
Among the foreign nationals rescued are five Indians, according to the latest information attributed to the Nepal Army. The rescue effort comes as authorities face difficult weather and dangerous river conditions in several affected areas.
Nepal Flood Rescue Operation Intensifies
The Trishuli region has emerged as one of the key areas for ongoing rescue operations. Heavy rainfall and rapidly rising water levels have made conditions difficult for both rescuers and residents.
Recent reports said rescue operations in parts of the Trishuli area were temporarily affected by heavy rain. Poor weather also created difficulties for helicopter operations.
Nepal’s Army and other agencies have been carrying out evacuation operations across flood-affected areas. Rescue teams are working to reach people stranded by damaged roads, rising rivers and debris.
Five Indians Among Those Rescued
The rescue of five Indian nationals is significant amid continuing efforts to locate and assist Indians affected by the disaster.
Earlier, Indian officials said several Indian citizens had been rescued from flood-affected locations in Nepal. The Indian embassy has also been coordinating with Nepalese authorities to assist citizens affected by the floods.
The latest rescue effort adds to the broader operation aimed at moving stranded people to safer locations.
Severe Flooding Continues Across Nepal
Nepal is facing a major humanitarian emergency following catastrophic flooding and related disasters in the Himalayan region.
Recent reports have described extensive damage to homes, roads, bridges and hydropower infrastructure. Thousands of people have been rescued, while many others remain missing.
Authorities have also warned of the possibility of further flooding in some areas. Rising river levels and unstable terrain continue to pose serious challenges for rescue teams.
Rescue Teams Face Difficult Conditions
Rescuers are working in difficult terrain where heavy rain, mud and damaged infrastructure are slowing operations.
The situation is particularly challenging around hydropower projects and river valleys. Rescue teams have already carried out operations at locations where people were trapped by floodwaters and debris.
In one recent operation at the Trishuli-III hydropower project, the Nepal Army rescued 208 people, including 43 foreign nationals. The group included 38 Chinese nationals and five Indians.
The latest Trishuli rescue operation is expected to provide some relief as authorities continue searching for people who may still be stranded.
Nepal Floods: What Happens Next?
Rescue agencies are expected to continue evacuation and search operations as weather conditions allow.
Authorities are closely monitoring river levels and areas vulnerable to fresh flooding. Residents in affected regions have been urged to follow official safety instructions and move to safer locations when advised.
The priority remains clear: rescue those still stranded, provide emergency assistance and prevent further loss of life.
