Key Roads in Western Nepal Reopen as Crews Clear Landslide Debris

Road links between Beni and Babiachour in Myagdi reopened on Tuesday evening following four days of monsoon-induced landslide blockages, restoring direct access to several local levels across Myagdi and Baglung. However, the Beni–Jomsom–Korala corridor remains severed after the Kaligandaki River washed away road sections and damaged bridge infrastructure. According to district authorities, the disruption has halted overland trade through the Korala border crossing with China, stranded travelers, and blocked festive shipments of apples and mountain goats alongside Sorha Shraddha pilgrimages to Kagbeni.

Speaking at an internal review, Shrestha urged officials to discard the habit of rushing capital expenditure at year-end, calling instead for strict project calendars, prompt tendering, and predictable systems.

US Supreme Court Backs Trump Deportation Drive as Press and Iran Battles Mount

The United States Supreme Court has permitted President Donald Trump’s administration to temporarily resume deporting migrants to third countries where they have no personal ties. The emergency decision suspends a previous ruling by a federal judge in Boston, who had deemed the Department of Homeland Security policy unlawful because migrants were not given a meaningful chance to show they faced torture or persecution. Over 25,000 people have been sent to 29 countries under the policy, prompting legal rights groups to warn of dangerous fallout ahead of formal hearings set for December.

Surging Rivers Inundate Sarlahi Villages and Wreck Chitwan Promenade

Swollen by late-monsoon rain, the Lakhandei River breached embankments in Sarlahi, inundating settlements and ripening crops across Malangwa Municipality and Kaudena Rural Municipality. According to *Gorkhapatra*, runoff from an upstream breach at Chhapkaiya submerged Bhadsar and Khutouna, stranding families in waist-deep water and forcing schools to close. Malangwa Ward 6 Chairperson Ram Kailash Yadav explained that floodwaters cannot drain because settlements are hemmed in by an elevated Indian road to the south and dykes to the west. Sarlahi Chief District Officer Bijay Raj Subedi said authorities plan to plug the breach using bamboo and sandbags, though draining the stagnant water remains unfeasible.
