A total of 192 people have lost their lives, and 30 others remain missing due to floods, landslides, and inundation caused by continuous rainfall.

Home Ministry spokesperson Rishiram Tiwari reported that 194 individuals were injured in these natural disasters. He added that over 4,500 affected individuals have been rescued so far, with all security agencies mobilized for search, rescue, and relief operations. Emergency relief supplies, including food, have been distributed to those affected, and the injured are receiving free medical treatment. Efforts are also underway to clear blocked highways to restore traffic.

Deputy Superintendent of the Armed Police Force Shailendra Thapa, who also serves as the joint spokesperson, confirmed that several vehicles were buried in the Jyaplekhola landslide.
