Watch this video as Firstpost explains how, more than two weeks after a devastating mountain and glacial collapse near the China-Nepal border unleashed deadly flooding, Nepal faces a historic wave of destruction. With over 1,360 confirmed deaths and more than 5,100 people still missing, search operations continue through submerged hydropower tunnels and crumbling mountain terrain. The physical damage has severed the nation’s power grid and flattened basic infrastructure—destroying over 7,500 private homes, 35 government offices, 11 schools, and 33 motorable bridges. Estimates from Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority place immediate economic losses near 390 billion Nepalese Rupees ($2.6 billion)—roughly 18% of the country’s annual government budget. Full reconstruction costs are projected to reach $5 billion. Amid the devastation, high-tech relief operations, including military cargo drones, offer a lifeline to communities completely cut off from the outside world. Gursshheen Gahllen brings you the details on Planet Pulse.
