Kathmandu. Prime Minister Balendra Shah has said that the flooding in the Bhotekoshi River in Rasuwa on Wednesday is due to climate change. “There is no doubt that climate change has caused the Himalayan region to rise by 1.8 degrees Celsius,” he said through social media today. “Climate change is a global contribution and response is also a global responsibility.” ”

Prime Minister Shah said that this incident indicates that the risk of climate change is increasing in the Himalayan region. “We all have been curious as to how this disaster occurred, while discussing with experts, it has come that the flood in the Bhotekoshi River of Rasuwa is the biggest disaster created by the avalanche of ice rocks in the Himalayan region, so this area should be more aware,” he said, adding, “The time has come for us to present a strong presentation to the international community about the disaster we are facing due to climate change. Why did the snow rock fall? How did so much water come? Human civilization should answer this question.” ”

According to Prime Minister Shah, both snow and water might have mixed in the glacier collapse due to the melting water inside the glacier. “Experts say that the flood in the Bhotekoshi River might have caused an entire part of the glacier to fall from a great height with great energy and started melting at the place where it fell and melted continuously and took the form of a big flood. The flood has further damaged the area as the land on the Nepali side is receding from the height of the Himalayas,” said the Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Shah also said that the government is moving towards rehabilitation by moving ahead with search, rescue and relief distribution after the devastating floods. He also said that the government is working towards rehabilitation by providing necessary treatment and psycho-counseling to save the lives of the people of the affected areas and save their health. According to him, relief distribution is going on in a systematic manner to the flood-affected people. A total of 2,653 people have received shelter and relief in 19 temporary shelters in Nuwakot. The affected people of Rasuwa have also been provided shelter and relief in Nuwakot.

Prime Minister Shah said that after the disaster, help from the international level is also continuing. According to him, the Indian government started providing assistance from the day the floods occurred. India has so far provided 68.5 tons of relief and rescue materials. An 11-member Indian team has also arrived in Nepal for the rescue. Also, preparations are being made to provide a 22-foot refrigerated container truck on a temporary basis.
