Erosion continues in the coastal area of ​​Thame River

According to Police Inspector Laxman Giri of the District Police Office, although the water level in the river has decreased, the erosion continues. The flood swept away 20 houses and hotel lodges, a health post and a school in Khumbu Pasanglhamu-5. The flood has completely damaged the power house of the local power project. Khumbu Pasanglhamu-3 has cut about 200 meters of footpath from Phakding to Namche Jame area. Deputy Superintendent of Police Dwarika Prasad Ghimire informed that Nepal Army and Nepal Police were deployed for rescue.

Nepali army and police have rescued 93 people from Thame and kept them in the army camp, while 42 people have been kept in the local community building. After the flood also affected the coastal area of ​​Lower Solu, five families of Mapyadudhkosi Rural Municipality-6 have been relocated by the police.

When the flood passed through Bhotekosi and merged into Dudhkosi, the Mapya-Khumbu Miteri concrete bridge in the lower area of ​​Solukhumbu was damaged. The police said that the concrete motorable bridge over Dudhkosi river connecting Khumbu Pasanglhamu Rural Municipality and Mapyadudhkosi Rural Municipality was damaged when the flood eroded the area around Kosi.

Along with the damage to the bridge, it is said that the direct road network running from Salleri to Khumbu was also broken. Deputy Superintendent of Police Ghimire said, 'It is reported that the flood has also damaged the lower areas of the district, the goods of Belibrij, which was kept near the Dudhkosi river at Diplighat, which connects Sotang and Thulung Dudhkosi, have been washed away, and the settlements around the river have also suffered moderate damage. The cause of the flood has not been revealed.'

Lamakaji Sherpa, chairman of the Everest Pollution Control Committee, said that the flood may have come from the Khumbu area due to the bursting of a glacial lake. He says that he is not sure which glacier broke. Chief District Officer Devi Pandey Khatri informed that a team of Disaster Management Committee along with Defense Minister Manvir Rai will come today to inspect the place where the village was swept away by the flood.
