Kathmandu, September 4

The government has estimated losses of around Rs 400 billion from the Bhotekoshi flash flood that struck Nepal on August 26.

At a regular briefing organised by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) on Thursday, its Executive Director, Dr Dharma Raj Upreti, said the authority had made a preliminary estimate of Rs 387.54 billion in losses caused by the August 26 disaster. However, a detailed assessment is still awaited.
