Nuwakot, September 10, 2026 — Former Prime Minister and former Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba is visiting flood-affected areas of Nuwakot today for an on-site inspection accompanied by relief materials.
According to Deuba’s secretariat, he is travelling to Nuwakot to assess the situation in areas affected by the recent flooding and to support relief efforts.
A programme has been arranged for Deuba and other senior Nepali Congress leaders to leave Kathmandu for Nuwakot by road at 9:00 am, according to the secretariat.
