PRAKASH MATHEMA\/ AFP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n Heavy rains triggered landslides and flash floods killing at least 11 people in the last 36 hours in Nepal and blocking key highways and roads, officials said on Sunday\n <\/p>\n
Eight people were missing, either washed away by floods or buried in landslides, while 12 others were injured and being treated in hospitals, police spokesperson Dan Bahadur Karki said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRescue workers are trying to clear the landslides and open the roads,\u201d Karki told Reuters, adding heavy equipment was being used to clear debris.<\/p>\n
In southeastern Nepal, the Koshi River, which causes deadly floods in the eastern Indian state of Bihar almost every year, was flowing above the danger level, a district official said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe flow of Koshi is rising and we have asked residents to remain alert about possible floods,\u201d Bed Raj Phuyal, a senior official of Sunsari district where the river flows, told Reuters.<\/p>\n
He said at 9:00 a.m. (0315 hours GMT) water flow in Koshi River was 369,000 cusecs per second, more than double its normal flow of 150,000 cusecs.<\/p>\n
Cusec is the measurement of the flow of water and one cusec is equal to one cubic foot per second.<\/p>\n
Authorities said all 56 sluice gates of the Koshi Barrage had been opened to drain out water compared with about 10-12 during a normal situation.<\/p>\n
Authorities said the flows of Narayani, Rapti and Mahakali rivers in the west were also rising.<\/p>\n
In hill-ringed Kathmandu, several rivers have overflown their banks, flooded roads and inundated many houses.<\/p>\n
Local media showed people wading through waist-deep water or residents using buckets to empty their houses.<\/p>\n
At least 50 people across Nepal have died in landslides, floods and lightning strikes since mid-June when annual monsoon rains started.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of people die every year in landslides and flash floods that are common in mostly mountainous Nepal during the monsoon season which normally starts in mid-June and continues through mid-September.<\/p>\n
In the northeastern Indian state of Assam, floods have killed dozens and displaced thousands of people in the past few days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
