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 ।
पारी भारतले आफ्नो क्षेत्रलाई बाढीबाट सुरक्षित पार्नका लागि निर्माण गरिएको तटबन्ध ।
