Dozens of rescuers are searching the banks of a mountain river looking for people missing after monsoon floods swept away Nepal ’s main bridge connecting to the country to China and caused at least nine deaths. Police said dozens of rescuers were at the area on Wednesday and more were expected to join the rescue efforts. Nine dead bodies have been recovered from the river.
The flooding on the Bhotekoshi River early Tuesday destroyed the Friendship Bridge at Rasuwagadi, which is 120km north of the capital, Kathmandu. Several houses and trucks that were parked at the border for customs inspections also were swept away. Hundreds of electric vehicles imported from China had been parked at the border point. The 19 missing were 13 Nepali citizens and six Chinese nationals, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority said.
