Bhairawa, June 29: A 31-year-old man, Gorakh Bahadur BK was successfully saved from the floodwaters of Tinau River in Butwal on Sunday.
The rescue operation was launched by local police and armed forces after BK was reported missing.
BK, who hails from Malika Rural Municipality in Gulmi and is currently living in Butwal, found himself trapped while gathering firewood from the river due to a sudden surge in water levels caused by rainfall in the Palpa and Butwal areas.
Authorities have issued a public warning, advising against approaching rivers for activities such as firewood collection or swimming, particularly during the rainy season when water levels can rise unexpectedly. #nepal #rss
