A bridge collapsed into the river during heavy rain in Nepal. Dramatic footage shows the structure being swept away by the ravaging flood following relentless monsoon rains on September 28. Officials said the relentless rains began late Thursday, ravaging much of the country, particularly in the eastern and central regions. Data from the Armed Police Force (APF) and Nepal Police showed at least 129 people were killed due to downpours and landslides over the past 24 hours. Additionally, 62 people are believed to be missing, and at least 100 others have sustained injuries. Nepal has also closed its schools for three days. Authorities reported significant damage to university and school buildings, necessitating repairs. Local media reported that 10,000 police officers, volunteers, and army members had been mobilised for search and rescue efforts. Nepal's Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak said the recent rainfall had caused severe damage to the Kathmandu Valley. He added: 'Due to the heavy rainfall all across the nation, we are collecting information about induced damages; a meeting of the (disaster) command post also has been conveyed. 'A huge amount of damage to life and properties has been recorded all across the nation. The recent rainfall has also affected the Kathmandu Valley severely.
