Authorities in Nepal have issued an urgent call for villagers to evacuate their homes following a flash flood in the north-central region of the country. The flooding was triggered after a dry landslide altered the local terrain, creating hazardous conditions for nearby settlements.

The incident originated as a dry landslide in north-central Nepal, sending debris and earth down slope areas. The sudden movement subsequently led to a rapid surge of flash flooding across the surrounding downstream areas.

In light of the immediate danger posed by the rising waters, Nepalese officials urged local residents in the impacted zones to clear the area immediately. The evacuation orders were implemented to move communities out of the direct path of the floodwaters and mitigate potential casualties.

Evacuation measures remain active as officials keep watch over the situation following the dry landslide and flooding. Local populations in vulnerable areas are being encouraged to maintain vigilance and follow guidance provided by authorities as safety efforts proceed.
