Koshi government puts flood and landslide losses to infrastructure at over Rs2 billion

Weekend’s disaster killed dozens and washed away roads, bridges, and drinking water projects in the province.

The devastating floods and landslides that battered eastern Nepal on October 4 and 5 not only swept away homes, farms and lives but also incurred huge damage on development infrastructure like roads, bridges and drinking water projects across Koshi province. Roads built under the provincial government’s plans collapsed, bridges were torn apart, and water supply systems were destroyed—laying bare the fragility of the country’s development structures.
