The collapse-prone Krishnabhir section of the Prithvi Highway has exposed the lack of a parallel route on the other side of the Trishuli river, despite plans dating back nearly a decade.

Officials are upgrading a 12-km road along the opposite bank of the Trishuli river as the landslide-prone Krishnabhir section of the Prithvi Highway remains closed.

The government says it will guarantee education through Grade 12 for affected children, with support ranging from residential care and full scholarships to educational materials.

Engineers and geologists warn that the temporary route built above the collapsed stretch remains vulnerable and needs immediate slope stabilisation treatment.

12 schools—four in Rasuwa and eight in Nuwakot—were completely destroyed in the August 26 mid-morning disaster.

Authorities race to restore Kathmandu’s main supply route as a 70-metre stretch plunged into the Trishuli river on Sunday. Engineers are also exploring long-term alternatives.

The Bhotekoshi floods swept away roads and bridges linking Langtang with Dhunche, leaving tourists dependent on helicopters and raising concerns over supplies and the future of the trekking season.

A 70-metre section has fallen into the Trishuli river, and another 120 metres is severely cracked.

Relatives travel hundreds of kilometres across Nepal, moving between morgues, rescue camps and social media in search of any sign of those swept away or trapped by the Bhotekoshi flood.

Damage to key roads and bridges has disrupted relief, healthcare, education and trade across Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading.

Alongside the lorry drivers, a number of other Nepali nationals—including construction labourers and those engaged in the hospitality and business sectors—remain in Kerung.

Several teachers and students missing.

Local governments resist federal encroachment, while private schools want policy certainty and teachers better pay and benefits.
