At least 23 people are missing in the landslides in Bhemathang area and subsequent flood in Melamchi River, according to Helambu Rural Municipality. The area was covered by flash flood which occurred after a gorge in a high mountain area around 30 kilometres from Melamchi was blocked due to landslide. The landslide had blocked the river and made a huge dam-like structure, which eventually broke all of a sudden, sweeping away the market area in the lower plains of Melamchi Bazaar.
