Chinese, Indian workers among 11 killed in Nepal floods; 25 missing

At least 11 people including Indian and Chinese workers have lost their lives following landslides and flash floods triggered by heavy rain across Nepal.

Landslides and flash floods triggered by heavy rain across Nepal this week killed 11 people including one Indian and two Chinese workers at a development project, while 25 people were missing elsewhere, officials said on Friday. The bodies of the three workers were recovered near the town of Melamchi in Sindhupalchowk district, northeast of Kathmandu, which was hit by flash floods on Wednesday that also forced many people from their homes, district administrators said in a statement. "The foreign nationals were working for a Chinese company that is building a drinking water project," district official Baburam Khanal told Reuters.
