Over two thousand houses and cottages in Deukhuri of Dang have been inundated due to flood caused by incessant rain in the past few days.

Some 30 cottages have collapsed and some have even been swept away by Rapti River in Deukhuri, according to reports. However, there are no reports of any human casualties.
The swollen Rapti River flooded the three VDC’s and caused much havoc and panic among the villagers Wednesday night.
