Floods and landslides displace eleven families in Gulmi district

Continuous rainfall across Gulmi has resulted in the displacement of eleven families following a series of floods, landslides, and severe storms. Several local areas have sustained damage to residential properties and agricultural infrastructure as adverse weather conditions persist. Along the banks of the Kali Gandaki River in Rurukshetra Rural Municipality-1, rising water levels placed seven households operating shops at immediate risk. Local authorities relocated residents from the vulnerable riverside zone to safer ground as the river flow swelled. Additional damage was reported in Musikot Municipality-1, where a single-storey mud shed collapsed due to the persistent rain, killing animals trapped inside. Meanwhile, in Madane Rural Municipality-6, a heavy storm ripped the tin roof off a home, forcing another family out of their residence.
