Riyadh: Persistent monsoon rainfall across Nepal has triggered flash floods and landslides, killing at least 14 people since Saturday, officials said. Dan Bahadur Karki, spokesperson for Nepal Police, said at least nine people remain missing due to floods and landslides in various parts of the country. "Our team is working in affected areas, trying to find the missing and move the affected people to safety," Karki told dpa on Sunday.
