11 Bhadra, Kathmandu.
Global IME Bank Limited has announced that it will provide financial assistance of Rs 5 crore to the ‘Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund’ for the search, rescue, immediate relief, and long-term rehabilitation of citizens affected by the severe sudden floods in the Bhotekoshi River.
The devastating floods in the Bhotekoshi River have caused extensive erosion and inundation in riverine areas including Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha, and Chitwan, resulting in significant human and physical damage.
The strong current of the river has claimed the lives of hundreds of citizens prematurely, left many missing, and displaced hundreds of families, rendering them homeless. Additionally, the river has swept away local settlements, bridges, road networks, and hydropower projects, causing unprecedented devastation.
Extending heartfelt condolences to the citizens who lost their lives in the floods and landslides, and expressing deep sympathy to the bereaved families, the bank stated that it has provided this assistance under its corporate social responsibility to support the search for the missing, treatment of the injured, immediate provision of food and shelter for the affected, and the long-term reconstruction of damaged structures.
