People wade through the flooded section of the BP Highway following last weekend's heavy downpour, in Nepal, on October 9, 2025. Various sections of the BP Highway, built with Japanese assistance, are swept by the floods of 2024. Within weeks since the disaster, the highway is brought back into operation by setting up diversions. The local authorities, in coordination with the central government, are again setting up diversions, but people are forced to cling to the rocks to get across the road section and catch a bus to continue their journey. One week since the heavy rain batters the Himalayan nation, at least nine major highways connecting various parts of the country remain completely obstructed, according to the latest update from Nepal Police. As a result, many who leave Kathmandu Valley for their village homes for the Dashain festival face difficulties in returning to their workplace and temporary residence.
