Severe monsoon floods in Nepal have led to extensive damage to the country’s hydropower infrastructure and disrupted vital connectivity with China. The floods have critically affected several hydropower dams, causing setbacks in energy production and supply.
One of the most significant impacts has been the destruction of a key bridge that serves as a crucial link between Nepal and China, hampering cross-border trade and movement. This disruption underscores the region’s infrastructural vulnerabilities to natural disasters, particularly during the monsoon season.
Efforts to restore the damaged infrastructure and reconnect the affected routes are expected to be a priority for both Nepal and China as they work to mitigate economic and logistical impacts.
