Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Tuesday said that the government is working on a war-footing to rescue those affected by the devastating floods in Rasuwa district, which have left at least 18 people missing.
Expressing deep sorrow over the loss of lives and property due to the floods in the Lhende Stream and Trishuli River, Oli, in a social media post, said, “All concerned authorities have been instructed to ensure effective rescue and relief operations.”
The prime minister said he has postponed all pre-scheduled programmes, except the most essential ones, to focus on coordinating emergency relief efforts and is in constant contact with security agencies to monitor ongoing rescue operations.
