The Socialist Communist Party of Nepal has called on the government to introduce and immediately implement an effective package for the rescue, relief, medical treatment and safe rehabilitation of people affected by the devastating floods in Rasuwa and surrounding areas.

In a press statement issued on Bhadau 10 by party General Secretary Samrat Jung, the party said the sudden flood that struck on Wednesday morning caused extensive and unexpected damage in Rasuwa and nearby areas.

The statement said dozens of settlements and physical structures were damaged and that local residents, government employees, teachers and students, tourists and security personnel were among those reported out of contact in the affected areas.

The party urged the government to immediately intensify search and rescue operations, ensure relief assistance for affected communities and provide timely medical treatment to the injured.

It also called for a detailed assessment of the disaster and systematic collection of information on the extent of the damage.

The party said people who have lost their homes or places of residence should be provided with safe rehabilitation arrangements. It stressed that rescue, relief, treatment and rehabilitation should not be handled as separate measures, but as part of a comprehensive response package implemented without delay.

The Socialist Communist Party of Nepal also appealed to all political parties, social organizations and citizens to remain united and actively support people affected by the disaster.

The party paid tribute to those who lost their lives and expressed deep condolences to the bereaved families. It also wished the injured a speedy recovery and called for priority to be given to locating and rescuing people who remain missing or at risk.

The statement further urged residents living in flood-affected and other high-risk areas to remain alert and take necessary precautions.

The party said disaster management should not be limited to immediate rescue operations, but should also include proper damage assessment, relief, medical treatment and safe long-term rehabilitation of affected communities.
