- What happened
A second consecutive day with no persons found, alive or dead, at any hydropower site. Rasuwagadhi, Upper Trishuli-1, Mailung Khola, Trishuli 3-A and Trishuli 3-B all report searches completed with nothing located. Four excavators have been withdrawn from Trishuli 3-A as no longer required there for the time being and relocated to Trishuli 3-B, the first explicit de
prioritisation of a site in this series. Alongside this, the response has visibly turned toward identification rather than rescue: DNA sample collection has commenced in Rasuwa for missing person identification, 32 forensic teams comprising 54 personnel are mobilised for dead-body management, and the dashboard now carries public instructions for submitting DNA samples to District Police Offices with two photographs and proof of relationship.
The Nepal Army delivered a situation press briefing at NDRRMA in the presence of the Home Minister on tunnel damage and the status of search and rescue. A performance review of all rehabilitation task forces was conducted with the Minister for Infrastructure Development. Three sector sections absent yesterday return in expanded form — Communications, WASH and Education — and a new Agriculture and Livestock Protection sector appears for the first time. The Health Sector section is also substantially expanded, giving cumulative service figures well above anything previously published.
- Headline Figures at a Glance
| Indicator | 6 Sep, 19:00 | 7 Sep, 19:00 |
| Bodies recovered | 1,342 | 1,356 (+14) |
| Missing / out of contact | 4,896 | 4,894 (−2) |
| Hospital-treated patients | 323 | 327 (+4) |
| — discharged | 227 | 242 |
| — under treatment | 62 | 51 |
| — referred | 30 | 30 |
| — deaths during treatment | 4 | 4 |
| “Injured” combined figure | 6,083 | 6,676 (+593) |
| Total rescued to date | 13,391 | 13,396 (+5) |
| Total air operations, cumulative | 1,049 | 1,157 (+108) |
| Private sector flights from Kathmandu | 129 | 129 (unchanged) |
| Security personnel deployed | 21,465 | 21,402 (−63) |
| Cash relief released (total) | NPR 160 million | NPR 160 million (unchanged) |
| Identified bodies handed to families | 98 | 98 (unchanged) |
| People in holding centres | 3,533 (39 centres) | 3,629 (37 centres) |
| Fuel stock, Nuwakot (diesel / petrol / aviation) | 47,000 / 18,000 / 18,000 L | 55,000 / 23,000 / 19,000 L |
Three movements stand out. First, security personnel deployed fell for the first time in this series, by 63, entirely from Nepal Police (7,975 to 7,912); Nepal Army and APF are unchanged. Second, total rescued rose by only 5 while air operations rose by 108, which indicates that flying is now almost entirely logistics and relief rather than rescue. Third, the combined injured figure jumped by 593, driven by APF medical treatment rising from 2,462 to 2,970 — a 508 increase in one day, against 508 over the previous six days combined. This is a treatment-contact count from mobile and holding
centre services, not new casualties, and should be presented as such.
Identified bodies handed to families have now been static at 98 for three consecutive rounds while 25 further bodies have been recovered over the same period. The commencement of DNA collection suggests identification, rather than recovery, is now the binding constraint.
- Human Casualties
| District | 6 Sep, 19:00 | 7 Sep, 19:00 | Change |
| Chitwan | 362 | 363 | +1 |
| Nawalparasi East | 222 | 223 | +1 |
| Nawalparasi West | 220 | 221 | +1 |
| Nuwakot | 195 | 197 | +2 |
| Rasuwa | 163 | 169 | +6 |
| Gorkha | 74 | 75 | +1 |
| Dhading | 68 | 70 | +2 |
| Tanahun | 38 | 38 | – |
| Total (as stated) | 1,342 | 1,356 | +14 |
Every district except Tanahun recorded an increase, the first round in which recoveries have been
this widely distributed. Rasuwa again accounts for the largest share at six. The downstream districts — Chitwan and the two Nawalparasis — continue to add one or two each day, consistent with remains being recovered progressively along the river system rather than at the flood source.
Dead body management and identification
- Thirty-two forensic teams comprising 54 personnel are mobilised for dead-body management and identification.
- Tents have been established in Rasuwa to facilitate DNA sample collection for unidentified and missing persons.
- Families may submit DNA samples to their respective District Police Office with two photographs and proof of relationship. Partners working with affected families should carry this instruction forward, as it is the first published route for relatives to initiate identification.
- Missing / Out of Contact
| Category | 6 Sep, 19:00 | 7 Sep, 19:00 |
| Nuwakot (DEOC) | 2,340 | 2,340 |
| Rasuwa (DEOC) | 1,967 | 1,967 |
| Missing foreign nationals | 589 / 583 (conflicting) | 587 (both charts agree) |
| Security personnel and officials, of which | ~100 | ~100 |
| Total (as stated) | 4,896 | 4,894 |
The two DEOC-verified district figures are now unchanged for a fifth consecutive round, holding at 4,307 combined or 88 per cent of the total. The entire movement in the headline figure is a reduction of two in the foreign-national count. With 1,356 bodies recovered and 4,894 people still out of contact, the district registers have effectively stopped moving, and no reconciliation between recovered remains and the missing list is being published. The commencement of DNA collection is the first mechanism reported that could begin to close that gap.

5.3 Health Sector — expanded reporting
- 38 emergency medical teams comprising 175 healthcare personnel are deployed across affected areas, providing trauma, orthopaedic and general medicine treatment to more than 4,722 patients. • Psychosocial counselling has reached over 4,111 individuals across holding centres through 13 counselling teams comprising 59 personnel. This is reported differently from yesterday’s figure of 150 personnel deployed through the Ministry of Health; the two are not reconcilable as stated, and the service-recipient figure of 4,111 is the more useful of the two for partners. • Seven epidemiology and surveillance teams comprising 12 personnel are deployed for disease surveillance and outbreak prevention. This is the operational follow-through on yesterday’s cholera vaccine consignment, though no case data, surveillance findings or vaccination coverage figures are published.
- Essential medicines and supplies including antibiotics, analgesics, saline and ointments have been distributed through the Department of Health Services to health camps in Bidur and Kispang Rural Municipality of Nuwakot, and to Trishuli Hospital, Gosaikunda and Uttargaya.
- Search and Rescue at Hydropower Project Sites
Nothing was found at any site for a second consecutive day. The composition of international assistance has also shifted again: the Korean Disaster Relief Team is now working two sites, the Indian Army is at Chilime for a second day, and a UAE Search and Rescue Team appears for the first time at Trishuli 3-B. The Chinese rescue team reported yesterday at Mailung is not mentioned in this round.
| Project | Depth, 6 Sep | Depth, 7 Sep | Outcome today |
| Rasuwagadhi (120 MW) | ~225 m | not stated | Nothing found |
| Upper Trishuli-1 (216 MW) | ~180 m (Audit Tunnel 4) | ~400 m (main entrance) | Nothing found |
| Chilime (22 MW) | ~110 m | ~115 m | Passage created |
| Trishuli 3-A (60 MW) | not stated | not stated | Nothing found |
| Langtang (20 MW) | not stated | not stated | Ongoing |
| Trishuli 3-B (37 MW) | not stated | not stated | Nothing found |
| Mailung Khola (5 MW) | not stated | 1 km drone radius | Nothing found |
- Upper Trishuli-1: a joint Nepal Army and Korean Disaster Relief Team advanced approximately 400 metres into the main entrance tunnel, with nothing found. This is not comparable to yesterday’s 180 metres, which was measured in Audit Tunnel 4; the team has moved to a different access point rather than extending the same search line.
- Chilime: a joint Nepal Army and Indian Army team penetrated approximately 115 metres, five metres further than yesterday, and created a walkable passage using four large pipes. This is the only site reporting an engineering advance, and the pipe passage suggests the tunnel is being stabilised for sustained access rather than searched in a single push.
- Trishuli 3-B: a joint Nepal Army and UAE Search and Rescue Team conducted drone and thermal device reconnaissance around the Upper Trishuli 3-B office and residential complex with nothing found. Searches for buried offices, residential quarters and missing individuals continue. Four excavators previously deployed at Trishuli 3-A have been relocated here.
- Rasuwagadhi: a Composite Quick Response Team with project representatives reached the Power House and Control Point, with nothing found. No tunnel depth is given this round, after 275 metres on 5 September and 225 metres on 6 September. The depth series for this site has now been reported three different ways in three days and should not be plotted as a trend.
- Mailung Khola: a joint Nepal Army and KDRT team conducted drone reconnaissance within a one-kilometre radius of the Mailung area, with nothing found.
- Trishuli 3-A: a joint Nepal Army and project representative team searched the tunnel and Power House areas with nothing found. Read together with the withdrawal of four excavators, this site appears to be moving to a lower tempo.
Bridging and clearance
- Acrow bridge over the Tadi River at Devighat: installation of 11 bays is complete and the remaining 8 are progressing rapidly, implying a 19-bay structure. This is the first quantified measure of progress on this bridge and is a clear advance on yesterday’s 130 feet toward the nose section. • The roads section of the same report describes the Devighat structure as a 60-metre Bailey bridge with materials in transit from Gajuri and erection commenced. The stated span has now been 55 metres, then 75 metres, then 60 metres across three consecutive reports. Partners should treat the span as unconfirmed and rely on the bay count for progress tracking.
- Continuous road and site clearance is underway with two excavators deployed in the Dhungge area and two in the Devighat area.
- A performance review covering physical progress and key challenges was conducted among all rehabilitation task forces in the presence of the Minister for Infrastructure Development.
- Access, Infrastructure and Communications
Roads
- Prithvi Highway, Mugling–Malekhu: Krishnabhir remains completely obstructed, with the 250- metre hillside track opened and priority widening in progress. New this round: work is about to commence on an alternative route via Fisling Bridge connecting to Benighat Bridge. This is the first proposed engineered bypass of the Krishnabhir obstruction and is the item most worth tracking for supply-chain recovery.
- Devighat–Dhunge and Dhunge–Trishuli are both now reported as operational and clear. Dhunge– Trishuli was previously listed with maintenance ongoing, so this is a genuine upgrade in status. • Bidur–Betrawati: unchanged at 8.5 of 10 kilometres clear and operational, with 1.5 kilometres washed away, 0.5 kilometres requiring hard-rock cutting, and landslide and marshy conditions persisting on both tracks.
- Galchhi–Devighat and the Tribhuvan Highway are unchanged from yesterday, including the Kolphu Bridge assessment, the Ratamate back-cutting and the one-way operation at Nagdhunga and Pataleban.
- Rasuwa alternative route via Dhikure: still undergoing maintenance, with preparations underway to resume vehicular movement. The words “from tomorrow”, present on 5 and 6 September, have been dropped. The resumption projected for today did not occur and no new date is given. This is the third consecutive round in which the reopening has slipped, and with Rasuwa now receiving bulk food by air and mini-truck it is the most operationally consequential delay in the report.
Communications Sector
Restored after being absent yesterday. Nepal Telecom has 117 of 120 BTS towers operational and Ncell 76 of 78, both unchanged from 5 September, so no network progress has been made in two days. Free Wi-Fi services have been set up and activated at Bhairum Secondary School (Bidur-8), Chandrajyoti Secondary School (Bidur-5, Pipaltar) and the Trishuli Holding Center. The satellite phone and terminal deployments and the emergency hotline capacity reported on 5 September are still not restated.
Electricity and Fuel
- Rasuwa: the fuel supply chain has gradually begun to resume following deliveries of diesel and petrol by private suppliers using motor vehicles. Yesterday these deliveries were made in drums because tanker access was constrained, so the shift to motor vehicles is a modest improvement in access.
- Nuwakot and Rasuwa: continuous, full-capacity efforts are underway to restore power where services remain disrupted. No restoration percentage is given for any district this round, after 98 per cent for Nuwakot yesterday. The percentage series has now been broken twice in three days. • Nuwakot fuel reserves stand at 55,000 litres of diesel, 23,000 litres of petrol and 19,000 litres of aviation fuel, up from 47,000, 18,000 and 18,000 respectively. These figures are identical to the dashboard fuel box, confirming that the dashboard reports Nuwakot stocks rather than a corridor wide total.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
- Arrangements are being made to airlift 1,350 metres (1,285 kg) of plastic pipe of various sizes by Nepal Army helicopter to restore the Sera Drinking Water Project across the Trishuli River. • Clean drinking water is being distributed regularly using three tankers: two of 6,000 litres and one of 9,000 litres. This replaces the two 6,000-litre KUKL tankers reported on 5 September. • The Water Supply and Sewerage Management Office, Bhaktapur has provided two stabilizers to the Bidur Water Supply Committee for pump operations.
- 50 membrane community filters, 200 bottles of chlorine solution, water tanks of various capacities, submersible pumps and portable toilets have been supplied to affected areas and holding centres. • WASH cluster meetings are being held regularly in Dhading, Nuwakot and Rasuwa districts. • A four-room gender-friendly toilet and handwashing facility has been constructed at Baireni Bazaar, Galchhi Rural Municipality-6, Dhading.
Education Sector
- Free Wi-Fi has been activated for displaced families and shelter managers at schools operating as relief camps, specifically Bhairum Secondary School and Chandrajyoti Secondary School, Pipaltar. • Educational materials have been distributed at temporary holding centres and Temporary Learning Centres.
- Decisions and communications have been issued to arrange replacement textbooks and learning materials using budgets allocated at local level, carrying forward the position reported on 5 September.
- Community kitchens established within school premises, such as Neelakantha Secondary School in Uttargaya, are being supplied with daily essentials including rice, pulses, beaten rice, soya chunks, cooking oil, salt, sugar, eggs and vegetables.
- An action plan is being developed to relocate holding-centre residents to transitional shelters in order to reopen schools for regular classes. This supplies the rationale for the Resettlement and Shelter Management Action Plan reported yesterday: school reopening is the driver, and school premises are currently doing double duty as shelters and community kitchens.
Agriculture and Livestock Protection — new sector
- 23 types of emergency veterinary medicines and supplies handed over in Nuwakot and Rasuwa (Uttargaya Rural Municipality), and 7 types provided to Kalika and Gosaikunda Rural Municipalities.
- 200 bags of lime at 25 kg each and 1,000 bottles of phenol at 500 ml each dispatched to Bidur Municipality; 330 bottles of phenol and 100 packets of lime handed over to Devghat Rural Municipality in Tanahun.
- The volume of lime and disinfectant indicates carcass management and livestock disease control at scale. The consignment to Devghat Rural Municipality is the first sector support recorded outside the three core districts, and reflects downstream impact in Tanahun consistent with the 38 deaths recorded there.
- Relief Distribution, Cash Support and Holding Centres
Cash Relief (unchanged for a seventh consecutive round)
| Recipient | Figure |
| Rasuwa | NPR 10 million |
| Nuwakot | NPR 10 million |
| Dhading | NPR 5 million |
| Recipient | Figure |
| 15 affected local governments | NPR 135 million |
| Total | NPR 160 million (~USD 1,049,900) |
No additional cash has been released since 3 September. With a resettlement action plan now in preparation and holding-centre occupancy rising, the absence of any movement in the cash relief line for a full week is worth raising with NDRRMA.
Holding Centres
| District | 6 Sep, 19:00 | 7 Sep, 19:00 |
| Rasuwa | 669 (12 centres) | 733 (10 centres) |
| Nuwakot | 2,651 (25 centres) | 2,699 (25 centres) |
| Dhading | 213 (2 centres) | 197 (2 centres) |
| Total | 3,533 (39 centres) | 3,629 (37 centres) |
Occupancy rose while the number of centres fell. Rasuwa consolidated from 12 centres to 10 while its population rose by 64, and Nuwakot added 48 people across an unchanged 25 centres. Only Dhading fell, by 16. This reverses yesterday’s decline in all three districts and means average occupancy per centre has risen from 91 to 98. Two readings are possible: people who left centres yesterday have returned, or consolidation has drawn in people previously sheltering informally. NDRRMA does not distinguish between them, and the difference matters for shelter planning. Preparatory work on the Resettlement and Shelter Management Action Plan 2083 continues, with structured relocation of residents from holding centres as its stated purpose.
Relief Dispatch
Same-day movement doubled: two helicopters transported food supplies and logistical materials to affected districts and eight mini-trucks delivered food and non-food items, against one helicopter and four trucks yesterday. The cumulative dispatch series — trucks, Boleros, helicopter flights and APF relief flights — remains discontinued for a second round and cannot be reconstructed from this report.

The consignment swings back decisively to bulk food, and almost entirely to Rasuwa. Eight tonnes of fortified rice, 2,375 kg of dal, 1,700 kg of salt and 500 kg of lentils go to DAO Rasuwa, alongside cooking oil, gas cylinders and cooking stoves. This is a different profile from both 5 September, which was dominated by public-health information materials, and 6 September, which was a light eight-line consignment. Read alongside the doubling of helicopter and mini-truck movements and the continued closure of the Rasuwa road, it indicates Rasuwa is being provisioned for a sustained period without ground resupply.
Gorkha appears as a destination for the first time in this series, receiving a shelter and household package of 1,000 buckets, 30 blankets, 15 mattresses, 15 pillows, 15 sleeping bags, 5 tents and 50 solar lights with phone chargers. No Gorkha-specific narrative accompanies this, and the district has recorded 75 deaths without featuring in any sector section. The reason for the dispatch is worth establishing.
- Physical and Economic Damage Assessment
Not restated for a third consecutive report. The physical damage assessment introduced on 4 September — 7,570 private houses, 48 government structures, 18 schools, 7 health facilities, 55 kilometres of road, and 37 motorable plus 68 suspension bridges — remains absent, as do the economic damage estimate of NPR 38,754.68 crore, the early recovery requirement of NPR 795.3 crore and the directly impacted population figure of 32,963. Two action plans are now in preparation, one for resettlement and one for school reopening, with no published damage baseline to size either against.
- Coordination and Command
- A Nepal Army situation press briefing was conducted at NDRRMA in the presence of the Home Minister, covering damage to hydropower project tunnels and the current status of search and rescue operations. This is the first ministerial-level public briefing recorded in this series.
- A performance review of physical progress and key challenges was conducted among all rehabilitation task forces in the presence of the Minister for Infrastructure Development. • Daily Monsoon Response Command Post meetings and Mobilization Team briefings continue, with no meeting number, chair or decisions given for a third consecutive round. • NDRRMA’s Situation Room maintains daily contact with each local government and ward to prepare municipality-level Report Cards.
- Ongoing Risk and Information Gaps
Transition from rescue to recovery. Two consecutive days without a single person found, the withdrawal of excavators from Trishuli 3-A, the commencement of DNA sample collection, the mobilisation of 32 forensic teams and the first reduction in security deployment together mark a turn in the operation. NDRRMA has not stated this explicitly, and no formal transition from search and rescue to recovery has been announced. Partners should expect that announcement and prepare for the reframing of public messaging that will accompany it, particularly for the 4,894 families still awaiting news.
Cholera. Seven epidemiology and surveillance teams are now deployed for disease surveillance and outbreak prevention, following yesterday’s delivery of 21,000 Oral Cholera Vaccine doses to Rasuwa. No case numbers, surveillance findings or vaccination coverage figures have been published in either report. With holding-centre occupancy rising and average occupancy per centre now 98, this remains the most significant unquantified health risk in the response.
Rasuwa road access. The projected reopening of the Dhikure alternative route has slipped for a third consecutive round, and this time no new date is offered. Rasuwa is simultaneously receiving its largest food consignment of the series by air and mini-truck. The district should be treated as effectively cut off for ground resupply planning purposes until NDRRMA states otherwise.
Lhende Khola dammed lake. Not mentioned for an eighth consecutive report, while teams continue to work at the Rasuwagadhi powerhouse and control point directly below it. This remains an information gap rather than a resolution of the risk.
Electricity restoration reporting. District restoration percentages have now been dropped twice in three rounds, replaced this round by a narrative statement that efforts continue at full capacity. No district-level figure exists for Dhading or Rasuwa since 5 September. Partners should treat the last published figures — Dhading 99.8 per cent, Rasuwa approximately 78 per cent, Nuwakot 98 per cent — as the current best estimates while noting their age.
