Women who ran small businesses along the rivers of Nuwakot, Rasuwa and Dhading lost stock, savings and premises in the August 26 flood, and many say they want support to trade again rather than relief alone. The government's Rs15,000 monthly housing allowance covers families who lost permanent homes, but there is no clear arrangement for those who rented shops. Officials in Nuwakot put the number of directly affected small traders and household businesses at more than 2,000. Bagmati Province says revival programmes for small entrepreneurs will follow once immediate relief ends. From public sources and the WeNepal research team
Waste collection and disposal in Kathmandu have been suspended after heavy rain sent muddy water flowing at the Bancharedanda landfill site and left the access road in poor condition. In a notice issued on Friday, 26 September 2026, Kathmandu Metropolitan City said the transport and disposal of waste had been halted and asked residents not to put out household waste for now, nor to dump it on roads, at junctions, in rivers, drains or open spaces. Pushkar Bhattarai, chief of the KMC Environment Management Division, said waste-carrying vehicles were stranded along the route after a landslide blocked the road. Bancharedanda, on the Nuwakot–Dhading border, is the Valley's main landfill. From public sources and the WeNepal research team
