A tragic incident occurred in Taplejung district, located in the northeastern region of Nepal. A family of four lost their lives in a devastating landslide, as confirmed by a local official on Friday. The couple, along with their twin daughters, were living in Phaktanglung Rural Municipality when their home was buried under a heap of debris on Thursday night. The Xinhua news agency reported that the bodies of the victims were recovered the following morning.
Rajan Limbu, the Chairperson for the rural municipality, shared that all four individuals had unfortunately passed away on the spot. The loss of human life is always a heart-wrenching event, and this incident is no exception. The family's unfortunate fate was further compounded by the loss of around 50 goats and numerous chickens that they had been raising.
According to Limbu, the heavy rainfall brought about by the monsoon clouds, which entered eastern Nepal on Monday, was the root cause of this tragedy. This unfortunate event serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by rain-induced disasters in Nepal. The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology has reported that the eastern region has been experiencing intense rainfall.
Sadly, such natural disasters have become quite common in Nepal. The Nepali authorities have estimated that this year alone, over 1.8 million people could be affected by similar incidents. It is a concerning situation, and measures must be taken to mitigate the impact of such disasters on human life and property. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones during this difficult time. May they find strength and courage to overcome this tragedy.
