An India Today ground report from Trishuli in Nepal reveals widespread devastation caused by furious flash floods following severe rain and overflow originating from Tibet. The floodwaters altered the Trishuli River's course, completely wiping out market places, residential areas, a bus stand, a school, and a local church, turning the once-vibrant town into rubble and debris. Markings indicate that floodwaters rose up to 100 feet above current levels, trapping hundreds of residents in mud and debris without an opportunity to escape. Local villagers are seen navigating hazardous, mud-soaked paths using makeshift wooden planks to salvage basic belongings, while rescue operations remain severely hindered by difficult geographical terrain. Concerns grow that the casualty and missing numbers could escalate significantly.

00:00India today is here at Trishuli, one of the worst affected. Remember, Grossovo, Trishuli and Nova Cota, three of these
00:09market cities were totally destructed, devastated, destroyed.
00:13Here in Trishuli, the entire landscape in 24 hours has gone totally changed. There was a Buddha temple, which now
00:21seems to be only one pagoda which is left.
00:23Now, exactly across this line, there was a hanging bridge. Now, the hanging bridge is no more hanging. Many people
00:29were there and look at the furious flood.
00:33The river which is flowing up to 8 to 10 feet now, look at this. These markings, the footprint of
00:39devastation that it has left itself says that water was flowing up to 90 to 100 feet above the level
00:45that it is flowing now.
00:46Just across on the side looks like a river beach, which is no more. I mean, this was a bus
00:52stand. Multiple bus parking it was made and the whole bus stand is now turned into rubble and debris.
00:58This looks like a flattened surface area. Just on the across side, look at the residential area has turned into
01:05a ghost town in 24 hours.
01:06And now we see, look at this part. This was a school. Many children were there. Now, all are going
01:12missing.
01:12Perhaps why the number of casualty could be way too higher than what is coming at the moment.
01:18The reason is the furious flood. The mayhem came from Tibet via this Trishuli River has washed away this entire
01:25fully flourished Trishuli town.
01:29Just across the Noa Kota, Trishuli, Soro. These are the exclusive ground report you are seeing on India today from
01:36Trishuli.
01:37The whole landscape of Trishuli that's been totally devastated. This has left the footprints of destruction.
01:46Never ever Nepal has witnessed this kind of tragedy, unlike what it had seen during the earthquake.
01:54But this is mayhem, particularly in the difficult geographical terrain where even the rescue, search operations and restoring is nearly
02:03impossible.
02:05This is the ground reality of Nepal. This part where it has been totally destroyed.
02:10At ground zero in Trishuli, bringing you this exclusive report for India today. This is Ashutosh Mishra.
02:16It's a mayhem that what I see here at ground zero in Trishuli. The river not only changed its course,
02:23but it eventually changed the direction to 180 degree with the debris that was flowing via Tibet to Rossova.
02:31And then it came to Trishuli market. That whole landscape that you see was fully flourished.
02:35There was heavy crowded market. There were hotels. There were school, college, bus parking.
02:41It was the most buzzing place in this part of Nepal. But now what had happened, the moment, you know,
02:47hardly people, I mean there were hundreds of those houses.
02:49People could not even get an opportunity to escape, to run. However, many at the, just across side of the
02:55area were able to escape to the mountain areas, to the hilly terrain.
02:59But hundreds of these people were trapped. And when the debris attacked, all their houses gone in the debris.
03:06And that makes really an apprehension that number of casualties and number of missing persons were in this part of
03:12Nepal.
03:13The Trishuli remain one of the worst affected. India today is reporting from the ground.
03:17And what I am seeing through my eyes is actually explains the magnitude of this natural calamity in Trishuli.
03:25At Ground Zero, in Trishuli, Nepal, this is Ashutosh Mishra for India today.
03:30Trishuli के नदी के दरसल दूसरी थारा की तरफ मैं एक गाव में पहुचा हूँ.
03:34और गाव में आप देखेंगे कि यहाँ पर एक चर्ष था.
03:36इसके आगे कई सारे जो घर हो पूरी तरह से तबाह हो चुके हैं.
03:39और यह पूरा मकानी, इसका पहला मन्जिल जो है, वो पूरा मलबे में दलदल में दबा हुआ.
03:43अब इस इलाकों से पार करते हुए, दरसल भी देखेंगे, पूरा दलदल यहाँ आया हुआ है.
03:47और इस मलबे में से हमें जाना है.
03:49और यह अपने आप में बहुत दूरगम रास्ता है.
03:51और यहाँ तक जाने के लिए दरसल बहुत सम्हल के जाना पड़ेगा.
03:55और इन रास्तों से मैं आपको लिए चलता हूँ,
03:57कि कुछ लोग, जो गाओं के लोग हैं,
04:00अपनी संपत्ती या जरुवत की चीज़े बचाने आये,
04:02वो निकाल करके लाएं हैं तो उन्होंने,
04:04इस तरह से लकड़े और पट्रों का इस्तमाल किया हुआ है,
04:07ताकि हम इन इलाकों तक पहुँच पाई रेखे.
04:09यहां तक की जो है तबाही, नदी जो पानी है,
04:11वो अभी मेरे पीछे लगभग सार से सतर फिक नीचे बहरी है,
04:15और सारा पानी जब उपर आया है, उसने पूरे के पूरे गाओं को तबाह कर दे देखे,
04:19सारे घर में, यह सिर्फ तबाही के निशान है, पूरे इलाके में अगर आप देखेंगे,
04:23यहां कुछ भी ने बचा है, तरिशूली में कुछ भी नहीं बचा है.
