Chumnubri:Nepal Villagers have been urged to evacuate to safer areas after a landslide in central Nepal triggered flooding, causing significant damage to infrastructure.
According to Emirates News Agency, the landslide occurred in Chumnubri village within the Gorkha district, located approximately 100 kilometers west of Kathmandu. The landslide blocked the Budhi Gandaki River, leading to flooding downstream.
