9 killed in Taplejung landslide
Nine people including eight members of a family were perished in a landslide at Thukima VDC-6 in Taplejung district on Wednesday night. Three others have gone missing.
According to DSP Govinda Acharya, the landslide triggered by incessant rainfall buried their houses killing Asta Bahadur Siwa, 60, his wife, son Salman Siwa, 40, daughter-in-law Manmaya Siwa, 34, and grandchildren Naniran, 14, Naina Ram and Khagendra 12 and ten-year-old Nina of Tej Bahadur Siwa.
One Sukumaya was rescued from the mudslide but she breathed her last as she was brought to the district headquarters for treatment.
All those missing are from the same family.
Teams of Nepal Army and Armed Police Force reached the incident site earlier in the day and joined the locals in rescue operation.
Chief District Officer Kiran Thapa said all the houses except those swept away are not in danger. The mudslide has blocked the way to a local school disrupting the classes.
