महाकालीले एक दर्जन घर बगायो (फोटो फिचरसहित)

  • सरकारी कार्यालय लगायत दुई दर्जन घर जोखिममा

  • जोलजिवीको पुरानो झोलुंगे पुल बग्यो

  • भारतमा रहेको जिआर क्याम्पको भवन पनि भत्कियो



जोखिममा रहेको नेपाल-भारत जोड्ने पुल र घरहरु । यो तस्विर आइतवार दिउँसो लिइएको हो । अहिले नदीको बाढीले घर छुन थालेको छ ।



घाटबजारको रिडल तालबस्तीका घर छाप्राहरु । आइतवार सम्म रहेका यी घरहरु सोमवार बिहानको बाढीले बगाएको छ ।
