Nepal death toll crosses 1,000; rescue operations continue as 3,916 people remain missing
Kathmandu [Nepal], September 1 : The death toll from the devastating flash flood in Nepal has reached 1,003, according to an official update released by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) as of 1 PM on Tuesday. The recovered bodies, which include unidentified human remains, have been found across eight districts: 321 in Chitwan, 216 in Nawalparasi East, 170 in Nawalparasi West, 95 in Nuwakot, 65 in Gorkha, 57 in Dhading, 41 in Rasuwa, and 38 in Tanahun. To manage unidentified remains, bodies have been transferred to 21 hospitals across various districts, with details posted on official government web portals and social media channels. The report highlights that 3,916 people remain missing following the disaster. Local administrative reports indicate that 1,558 people are missing in Nuwakot and 865 in Rasuwa, alongside 639 workers from hydropower projects, 583 foreign nationals, and 164 Nepali citizens traveling with foreign groups. Missing security and administrative personnel include 45 members of the Nepal Army, 25 from the Nepal Police, 13 from the Armed Police Force, 15 from the Customs Office, and three each from the Immigration Office, Langtang National Park, and the Quarantine Office. Large-scale rescue operations have successfully saved 11,884 people to date. Aerial rescue operations conducted by the Nepal Army account for 3,782 evacuated individuals, including 273 foreigners and 3,509 Nepalis. The Nepal Army has completed 592 helicopter flights, including 41 on September 1 alone, while private sector operators from Kathmandu have completed 29 flights. A total of 279 individuals were reported injured, with 168 already discharged from hospitals and 2,740 receiving medical treatment from Nepal Army medical teams. Additionally, NDRRMA outlined critical response developments across flood-devastated regions, detailing high-risk subterranean search-and-rescue operations at hydropower sites alongside ongoing transport corridor repairs. Specialised teams comprising Nepal Army personnel, the Armed Police Force, and Nepal Electricity Authority staff, supported by international experts, continue complex operations inside flooded tunnels. At the Trishuli 3-A Hydropower Project, a 90-person crew located the Crown Head section and cleared 10 meters of mud, but heavy water discharge from an initial test drill forced personnel to drill at a secondary location to gain safe access. At Trishuli 3-B, an excavator was airlifted via helicopter to support a 47-member search force. Search teams led by Nepal Army officers and foreign experts penetrated 300 meters into the Haku tunnel head and 250 meters into the Mailung tunnel tail at Upper Trishuli 1, navigating through 3 to 4 meters of dense, swampy mud. Specialised Collapsed Structure Search and Rescue units reached 57 meters inside the Chilime facility, while additional teams extended searches 200 meters into Rasuwagadhi and 150 meters into the Langtang project tunnels. Across hard-to-reach terrain, Nepal Army ground forces remain active across seven dedicated zones in Nuwakot district, supported by 18 helicopter shuttle flights focused on rescue and extraction. Significant efforts are also underway to restore destroyed transport links and infrastructure. Road crews are clearing debris and conducting repairs on the large river bridge along the Galchhi-Devighat corridor, while technical surveys have commenced for a replacement Bailey bridge after the Tadi River structure was swept away. Clearance crews have advanced past the cliff zone near Dhunge Bazar toward Betrawati, though a 300-meter section of the remaining 2.8 km stretch was completely washed away, leaving the river flowing through the former roadbed and forcing teams to map alternative bypasses. To sustain essential traffic and movement, authorities have opened several alternative access routes. Light vehicles are operating along the Bahunbesi-Lachyang-Parchyang-Dhunche route as well as the Betrawati-Rasuwa bypass via Dhikure, Phedibesi, Chogate, and Borembhyang. Standard traffic continues along the Bidur-Chogate, Borembhyang-Lachyang-Jirokilo-Dhubbesi stretch and the Koloni-Buddhasinghghat road. Meanwhile, heavy machinery supplied by Bidur Municipality is clearing the Bidur-11 Thapatar-Betrawati section, with additional clearance initiatives underway to reopen the Chogate-Borembhyang-Dandadhara-Patikharka route for heavy transport. NDRRMA noted that a force of 21,314 security personnel is deployed across the disaster zone, comprising 9,199 from the Nepal Army, 7,912 from the Nepal Police, and 4,203 from the Armed Police Force. Emergency relief materials are moving continuously into affected areas, with 37 trucks and 37 Bolero vehicles dispatched by road, supplemented by 77 relief flights conducted by the Armed Police Force to locations in Rasuwa and Nuwakot, plus nine additional helicopter deliveries. To provide temporary support, 3,453 displaced citizens are staying in holding centers located in Nuwakot, Rasuwa, Kathmandu, and Dhading. Financial aid from the Government of Nepal includes NPR 10 million each allocated to Rasuwa and Nuwakot, NPR 5 million to Dhading, and NPR 67.5 million distributed among 15 affected local governments. Essential services and supplies are steadily being restored in the disaster zone. Nepal Telecom has made all 110 damaged towers operational, while Ncell has restored 75 of its 78 damaged towers. Fuel stocks in the region stand at 42,000 litres of diesel, 18,000 litres of petrol, and 6,000 litres of aviation fuel. (ANI)

Akshay Oberoi has opened up about his experience working around the sets of King, his bond with filmmaker Siddharth Anand, and how years of struggle have shaped his career. The actor, who recently appeared as gangster Tony in Geetu Mohandas Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, described the film as one of the biggest projects of his career while reflecting on his journey in the industry. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Akshay said that his recent projects have made him appreciate how far he has come. I have worked with the biggest people, done all kinds of films. This is the year where Ive learnt the most, he said. He added, Ive been working for a long time, but the bigger films are just coming my way. My gratitude and appreciation have only grown. One of the major projects on his slate is Siddharth Anands King, which stars Shah Rukh Khan. Although Akshay has not yet shared screen space with Shah Rukh, he revealed that they have spent time together on the sets. Unfortunately, we havent shared the screen space. But he comes to the set even when he isnt shooting, Akshay said. Describing his interactions with Shah Rukh, the actor added, He is what everyone says he is. Hes one of the kindest, gentlest people. In five minutes, hes talking to you like youre his buddy. That comes naturally to himits not like its a put-on. He cant be faking it for all these years. Akshay also spoke warmly about reuniting with Siddharth Anand and producer Mamta Anand. Expressing his gratitude towards the filmmaker, he said, Id jump off a cliff for that man. He credited Siddharth with giving him mainstream attention after years of working in smaller films and explained that his role in Toxic also came through Siddharths trust in him. Looking back at his career, Akshay said he once wondered, mera number kab aayega? While he received critical appreciation earlier, commercial success remained elusive. Today, however, he believes his struggles prepared him for the opportunities coming his way. This is where I was always meant to be. I am at peace with it now, Akshay concluded, adding that his focus is now on growing further and taking on bigger films and roles.

PM hails 7.8% GDP growth, urges people to avoid buying gold, foreign trips
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday applauded the country's people for the 7.8 per cent GDP growth rate, calling the feat particularly impressive, coming against the backdrop of global turmoil, geopolitical conflicts, and supply chain disruptions. In a video message on Instagram, the prime minister also slammed those spreading jhooth ki goonj (an apparent riff on Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron ki Goonj' campaign), saying the latest GDP growth rate tore through the narrative of pessimism about the Indian economy. Modi said India must maintain the growth momentum and continue working towards greater self-reliance and 'Swadeshi'. We must maintain this momentum. We must keep moving forward, and for that, becoming Atmanirbhar Bharat is essential, he said. The prime minister said if people continue to stress on Swadeshi and self-reliance, the country's youth will be presented with a developed India in the 100th year of Independence.

Govt failed to deliver on peoples mandate: Hakeem Yaseen
Srinagar, Aug 31: Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Front (PDF) President and former Minister Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen on Monday criticised the government for allegedly failing to address the concerns of the people despite receiving a massive mandate, saying that the past two years have not brought the expected relief or development to the public. Addressing various delegations from Budgam district, Yaseen said that people had voted with great expectations, but the government has failed to deliver on its promises. It has been two years since the government received a massive mandate, but people are still waiting for tangible action on issues concerning their daily lives, he said. Yaseen said political statements, blaming games and taking credit for ongoing projects would not resolve the problems confronting the people. He alleged that successive governments had failed to safeguard the interests of Jammu and Kashmir and said all political parties were responsible for selling power projects, water and other resources while leaving the people to face hardships. He expressed concern over the difficulties faced by farmers and horticulturists due to flash floods, heavy rains, hailstorms and other weather-related incidents. He said many farmers suffered extensive crop losses, but adequate compensation had not been provided by the concerned Agriculture and Horticulture departments. Yaseen also alleged that there was a lack of accountability in the functioning of various departments. Referring to reports of spurious and substandard pesticides being sold in the market, he demanded strict inspections and a time-bound investigation to identify those responsible.

Nepal flood: Death toll climbs to 939, around 4,000 people missing
The death toll from the devastating flash floods in Nepal rose to 939 on Monday, with bodies continuing to be recovered, while around 4,000 people are still missing, authorities said. More than 10,000 people have been rescued so far, as search teams struggle to reach those still stranded amid intermittent rain, swollen rivers and damaged roads and bridges. The flash floods, triggered by a collapse or avalanche of ice and rock near the Nepal-Tibet border, devastated towns and villages in northern and central Nepal on August 26. The Bhotekoshi River, which flows south from the Himalayan border region, carried the floodwaters downstream, sweeping away homes, vehicles, roads and bridges and damaging hydropower projects. The disaster also killed 16 people on the Chinese side, while nearly 550 people remain missing in Tibet, according to Chinese media reports. Rescue teams are trying to trace 639 workers and employees in various hydropower project sites in Nepal's flood-hit areas, of wh

China Rewrites War Law: 1.4B People, Factories, Infrastructure Mobilised, What's Xi Plotting?
China has rewritten its defence mobilisation law. Effective October 1, it lets the state mobilise citizens, specialists, companies, data and civilian resources during a defence emergency. Men aged 18 to 60 and women aged 18 to 55 may be assigned defence duties. Some specialists face no age limit. Vehicles, factories, ports, networks and other assets can be requisitioned, with compensation promised. Refusal can bring compulsory enforcement. Beijing says the changes modernise readiness and connect civilian strength with military power. The law does not prove an immediate war plan. But it shows China wants a faster switch from peace to wartime control. For India, this matters along the Himalayas and across the Indian Ocean. This report decodes the key provisions, the enforcement teeth and the strategic message. Is China preparing society for resilience, coercion, or both? Can India match Beijings mobilisation speed while protecting civilian rights? Watch facts and India angle.

Abhishek Banerjee has spoken about how his work in Stolen influenced the way filmmakers approached him professionally. Following the success of Stree 2, the actor took on the lead role in the survival thriller, which presented him in a different genre and required him to carry much of the films emotional and narrative arc. Reflecting on the shift in his career after Stree 2, Abhishek said, Stree 2 jaisi commercial film ke baad, meri agli film thi Stolen. It was a completely different space and a different genre. So, I think that also worked for me where people saw that I can take responsibility of a film on my shoulders and be with it till the last point. I am leading a few interesting projects and Im enjoying this journey. Directed by Karan Tejpal, Stolen revolves around two brothers searching for a kidnapped baby, with Abhishek playing Gautam Bansal. The film premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on September 7, 2023, before its release on Amazon Prime Video on May 10, 2025.

Priyadarshans upcoming thriller Haiwaan is among the films generating considerable anticipation ahead of its September 11 release. The dark thriller features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Boman Irani, Shriya Pilgaonkar and Saiyami Kher. While the trailer has already sparked interest, Boman Irani says that the perception of comedy continues to follow both him and Priyadarshan, despite the filmmaker having explored multiple genres throughout his career. The comedy stamp always chases me, Boman said during an exclusive interview with SCREEN. Boman was discussing Priyadarshans diverse body of work, which has included action, romance and drama alongside comedy. Although the filmmaker has ventured into different genres, his comic films remain among the works he is most closely associated with. The actor also opened up about his reunion with Priyadarshan after a gap of 12 years. Boman and the filmmaker had previously collaborated on the 2012 film Tezz, which also starred Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor and Kangana Ranaut. When asked why the duo took so long to work together again despite being described as a deadly combination of talent, Boman pointed to the filmmakers established group of collaborators. I think he had his own group of people whom he was comfortable with. Its like asking Raju Hirani, Why didnt you work with so-and-so actor? It becomes a family kind of situation, and I think thats great. But somehow, I was made to believe that I was the first choice for this role, Boman said. Haiwaan also marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan on the big screen after more than three decades. The actors last appeared together in Main Khiladi Tu Anari in 1994. With Akshay portraying a dark character in the upcoming film, Boman was asked whether audiences would accept him in a different kind of role. You watch 3 Idiots. Imagine 3 Idiots was not a good movie. Think about it. What would the acceptance of a character like Virus be? They would say, Irritating. But when the movie is good, everything gets accepted. You say, Oh well, that was very interesting. It was pretty good advice. Think of Munna Bhai MBBS. Sanjay Dutt was 44 years old, hardly a college-going student. Why did they accept it? The movie was good. The story was good, said the 66-year-old actor. Boman believes the same applies to Akshay and Saifs return as co-stars. He said audiences are likely to accept them if their performances and the overall film work. But if the movie was bad, then people would have questioned, How could they have cast Sanju? But the movie was great. So, there was no question of age. Having said that, they (Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan) will be accepted because they are good in the film. But the movie has to be good, and the movie is good, he concluded. Haiwaan is the official remake of Priyadarshans 2016 Malayalam film Oppam, which starred Mohanlal.
