[More to come] 47 Dead in Nepal, Rivers Rising in India | Eastern Himalayas Face Late Monsoon Fury India times Oct 6, 2025 A deadly spell of late monsoon rains has unleashed a chain reaction of floods and landslides across the eastern Himalayas — from Bhutan’s overflowing rivers to Nepal’s breached barrages and India’s swelling plains. In Nepal, at least 47 people have died and thousands displaced as the Koshi Barrage was forced open, sending torrents into Bihar. In Bhutan, flash floods linked to the Tala Dam overflow prompted joint rescue operations with the Indian Army. Meanwhile, West Bengal’s Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts face deadly landslides as IMD issues red alerts. With Bihar bracing for surging waters, the crisis underscores how transboundary rivers can turn a regional monsoon into a shared disaster.
KE: Everything climate scientists predicted about global warming since the 1970s is coming true only faster. Including disastrous flooding a part of daily life.
