Floods affect life in lower Mustang

BAGLUNG:

Floods triggered by rains continuing for one week have crippled life in lower Mustang.

According to the Mustang District Administration Office, two people died in flood at Kowang-7 a week ago.

Chief district officer Pradip Raj Kandel said the police and locals rescued two others, including 72-year-old Kaila Gauchan, from the same place.

Floods have also damaged two concrete houses, three mud-built houses and a water mill. Seven flood-affected families have been taking refuge at a Buddhist shrine nearby.
