PARBAT: In the wake of unrelenting rainfall, a landslide triggered by the incessant downpour buried a building of Thapathana Secondary School, situated in Phalewas Municipality-2 Thapathana in Parbat district.

This event was set in motion as a landslide cascaded from the road, descending approximately 50 meters above the school’s premises.

Bishnu Prasad Sharma, the school principal, lamented that the fury of the landslide has completely buried three classrooms, compelling the school authorities to conduct classes amidst considerable peril within the remaining eight rooms.

Santosh Rijal, a teacher at the school, stated that the force of the landslide has inflicted extensive damage upon three classrooms.

The aftermath of this calamity has left the educational institution grappling with the urgent need for comprehensive restoration and support to continue fulfilling its crucial role in the community, he added.
