Government Offices And Courts Inundated In Kathmandu With Rupture In Water Supply Pipeline
Officials retrieve court documents after flooding in the premises of Kathmandu District and Special Court in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 12, 2025. A part of the road at Babarbamahal in Kathmandu collapses following the rupture of the Melamchi Water Supply, inundating two courts and the Forestry Complex along with other surrounding buildings. The road section collapses as water gushes out to the surface, prompting disaster response teams to rescue those stranded. With water gushing into the premises of Kathmandu District Court and the Special Court, justices of both courts are evacuated by crossing the metal bars. Since the pipes are laid in close proximity, it takes some time for the Melamchi Drinking Water Project team to identify which pipe has burst. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
