Nepal landslide triggers Budhi Gandaki flood; five missing, bridges and hydro site damaged

A landslide near Chumnubri village sent debris into the Budhi Gandaki River, causing a flood that left five people missing and swept away twelve houses and two suspension bridges. A hydroelectric power plant construction site was also affected, with materials carried off. This is a recurring seasonal hazard in Nepal's mountainous terrain, but the damage to energy infrastructure adds economic significance.
