The Nepalese Army has set up a temporary zip line to help residents cross the Trishuli River in Bidur, Nuwakot district. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
After devastating floods damaged roads and disrupted regular routes in the area, residents have been forced to adapt. Photographs taken on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026, show residents commuting across the river on the newly installed zip line.
The images capture residents waiting for their turn, pulling the steel wire of the zip line, and helping each other cross. This temporary structure has become the only means of crossing the river for many locals.
Video footage by AP correspondent Shonal Ganguly also depicts the situation. Due to the floods, many families are facing difficulties in accessing food and medicine, as traditional routes are no longer available.
The Army's initiative is an example of providing assistance to residents in areas affected by natural disasters. Authorities are taking additional measures to connect settlements on both sides of the river.
The exact number of people affected by the floods is not yet known, but the situation in the region remains critical. Residents are using the temporary zip line to continue their daily lives.
This event highlights the impact of natural disasters on human life and the resourcefulness of people in emergency situations. The Nepalese government and army are working to stabilize the situation in the region.
