18 people missing in floods in northern Nepal
At least 18 people went
missing early Tuesday in floods triggered by incessant rainfalls in the
northern area of Nepal, local police said.
The police have
received reports that at least 18 people have gone missing in floods that
occurred at Rasuwagadhi border point, Inspector Krishna Dhital from Rasuwa
district police told Xinhua.
"The majority of
them were working at a dry port close to the border," he said.
A bridge at the border
point was washed away, and several electric vehicles parked at the dry port
were swept away, Dhital said.
Nepal suffers from
monsoon rains each year.
