Heavy rains have swollen the Trishuli River in Nuwakot district, leaving many residents stranded on the opposite bank after flood waters surged. The Nepal Army installed a temporary cable bridge to enable safe passage over the fast‑moving water.

Soldiers, together with local volunteers, helped pull flood survivors along the cable, guiding them to safety on the far side of the river. The joint effort has allowed dozens of people to reach higher ground, reducing the immediate risk of injury or loss of life.
