The deadly earthquake of last year had devastated Liping and Tatopani Bazaar of Sindhupalchowk. Before these places could recover, flood in the Bhote Koshi River has left these towns so battered that reconstruction seems impossible. Of the 200 houses in Tatopani and Liping bazaars, the Bhote Koshi flood has washed away 67 houses till today noon, police said. The flood in the Bhote Koshi River triggered by heavy rain across the border in China from last Tuesday night had wreaked havoc in Tatopani and Liping bazaars. Inspector Khumlal Bhusal said that though the water level had gone down in the river, erosion caused by the river in the bazaar area was responsible for the destruction. “If the water flow remains as it is now, no house will stand in the two bazaars,” Inspector Bhusal said. Bhusal said that some houses had sunk into the river today as well.
Lakpa Sherpa of Kodari said that some of the people with buildings in the bazaar area had gone to take stock of their dwellings and belongings. “The river is eating away the houses. Some are looking for their valuables and others want to assess the loss to their property,” Sherpa said. According to Sherpa, there are around 100 people in Tatopani and Liping bazaars. Some locals are en route to Brahabishe.
