[E7] Himalayan Times said the missing people, two women and three men, were staying at a sheepfold in Ungiling, Chumchet. [E8] The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority said the blockage triggered a large flood carrying mud and debris that swept away bridges, houses and infrastructure, Himalayan Times reported; Indian Express said a flash flood in the Budhi Gandaki River swept away several houses in Nepal's Gorkha district early on Sunday. [E7][E4] Officials told people living along the river to move to higher ground, Indian Express reported. [E4] Dharmendra Kumar Mishra, Gorkha's chief district officer, told Indian Express he got word of a major flood at 4:35 am on Sunday.

[E1] Indian Express said the flood came down from Chumnubri Rural Municipality-6. [E5] Mishra told Indian Express that early reports pointed to a landslide above Siuribas. [E5] Nima Lama, the rural municipality chair, told Indian Express that the landslide blocked the Chumke Khola stream, and the flood followed. [E5] Himalayan Times, citing the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, and Lama, speaking to Indian Express, disagree on which watercourse the landslide blocked. [E7][E5] Mishra said five to seven houses in the riverbed at Jagat were swept away, and a few more downstream may also have gone, Indian Express reported. [E5] AP reported that the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority evacuated villagers and warned others to move to safer areas while remaining on alert until late Sunday. [E2] At 6:40 am, Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority sent an SMS alert from its Flood Forecasting Section, Indian Express reported. [E6] Earlier Sunday, AP reported there were no immediate reports of casualties, and Indian Express said no deaths or injuries have been reported so far.
