Flood Victims Rescued from 60-Foot Tunnel After Devastating Floods

Disasters do not give prior notice. When devastating floods and landslides hit the banks of the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers on Bhadra 10, the entire geography was thrown into disarray. Because we have received special training in Disaster Management (DM), we are always ready to be deployed in search and rescue operations, physically, mentally, and psychologically, under any difficult circumstances. When we went to the field after the flood hit the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river basins on Bhadra 10, the ground reality there was completely different and unimaginable than we had thought.

I went to Nuwakot with a CSR team equipped with tools from the No. 20 Disaster and Rescue Battalion located in Sinamangal. The team that enters collapsed structures, cuts pillars and slabs to carry out rescues is called the CSR team. We stayed in the flood-affected area for 13 days. As soon as the news of the flood in the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river basins came, the first DM standby team from our battalion reached Rasuwa by helicopter within 1 hour and started working. That team was led by Armed Police Inspector Sanju Khatri. That team rescued one girl safely in Rasuwa.
