The Nepali military has mobilized over two thousand soldiers to conduct search and rescue operations across flood-affected regions, with focus on the hardest-hit districts.
Nepal's armed forces have launched a significant rescue operation in response to widespread flooding, with the military deploying 2,000 personnel across affected areas. According to Brigadier General Rajaram Basnet, the army's spokesman, troops have been concentrated in the most severely impacted regions, particularly the Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts, to conduct both ground-based and aerial search and rescue missions.
The military response has already yielded results, with rescue teams successfully extracting 97 individuals from flood-affected zones. Among those rescued were three workers who had become stranded within the Trishuli A hydropower project tunnel, highlighting the varied challenges posed by the flooding across different infrastructure sites.
The rescue effort extends beyond the military, with Nepal's national police force and armed police contingents also mobilizing personnel to support ongoing search operations. This multi-agency coordination reflects the scale of the emergency response required to address the flooding crisis across the nation.
