Flood Alert Issued Along Nepal’s Budhi Gandaki River Basin
A river in Nepal’s mountainous Gorkha district suddenly flooded on Sunday morning.
The water destroyed four houses and a suspension bridge.
The people living there escaped before the flood reached them.
Officials said no one was killed or injured.
Mud and debris blocked part of the river’s outlet.
The Therang River eventually flows into the Budhi Gandaki River.
Because of this, people living downstream were told to be careful.
The broken bridge may also make it harder for tourists to trek through the Manaslu region.
