Government building in western Nepal collapses into river amid floods

Wednesday, 30 September 2026, 06:11 · 1 min read

A government building in Baglung, western Nepal, fell into the Daram River on Sunday 27 September after heavy flooding undermined the ground beneath it; officials had removed key documents and computers beforehand, and no one was hurt. Nepal's national disaster agency says floods and landslides have killed at least 27 people in recent days. The toll adds to the strain on a Himalayan country still reeling from an earlier flash flood near the Nepal-Tibet border that the source reports killed 1,400 people, with thousands more missing.
