Injured people are currently having treatment at Pyuthan hospital in Bijuwar.
Landslides have blocked the Bhalubang- Pyuthan roads at various sections. Even injured people could not be taken outside the district for treatment due to the road blockage, Nepal based Ekantipur has written quoting local Police Officers.
Meanwhile landslide has buried at least 11 houses in Solukhumbu district of eastern Nepal. The landslides also washed away the drinking water project obstructing the water supply.
In another incident, hundreds of vehicles and passengers got stranded due to landslide at Darechok near Mugling along Prithvi highway. Traffic was resumed after two hours.
