The heavy monsoon downpour in Nepal has resulted in 148 deaths, with the toll expected to rise as search efforts continue in affected areas.
Over half of the fatalities occurred in Kathmandu, which experienced the worst rainfall in decades, leading to severe inundation in neighborhoods.
Authorities are engaged in rescue efforts amid blocked roads and numerous landslides, while government has declared a three-day closure for schools and colleges.
Weather officials attribute the extreme rainfall to a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal, impacting Nepal and parts of neighboring India.
