Nepal has pointed the finger at India, America and China for the avalanche and the subsequent disaster. Allegedly, the disaster in the Himalayas has been caused by pollution from these three countries. Balendra Shah's government has also demanded compensation for that. They are going to approach the United Nations in a few days. The Nepalese delegation will be led by Prime Minister Balendra himself. The Prime Minister has not visited a single foreign country since he took office. The UN session is scheduled to begin in New York on September 8. The general debate will be held on September 22.

Several relief camps have been set up in each district. There are a total of 3,844 such camps in the entire country. Bridges and towers are being rebuilt to connect areas isolated by the disaster. On August 26, the Bhotekoshi River in Rasua district, bordering Nepal, overflowed its banks. The strong current of mud, rocks and icy water swept away low-lying villages. Many tourists from India are also missing since the incident. The Nepalese government initially refused foreign aid in the rescue operation. Later, under international pressure, they relented and several countries, including India, were allowed to help in the rescue operation. News agency ANI reported that two C-130J aircraft of the Indian Air Force left for Nepal on Thursday carrying medicines and forensic equipment. A total of 21 people have been sent. India has sent more than 68 tons of relief materials to Nepal with this.
It is learned that the news of the collapse of the glacier that broke in the Himalayas in Nepal was known in advance. But the country's 'disaster warning' system could not give a warning of the disaster in time. Nepali media outlet Kathmandu Post reported that a section of the glacier collapsed in the Lende Valley of Rasuwar at 8:37 am on the 26th. After that, a stream of mud rushed towards the locality at a high speed. But the warning message reached the people by 9:15 am, about 38 minutes later. The Department of Mines and Geology felt the earthquake. But it did not match it with a normal earthquake. It was not understood that the tremor was felt due to the collapse of the glacier. Some say that there was a chance to deliver the warning even after the water level of the Votekoshi River started rising. Because the water level measuring device in Sabrubesi was swept away by the water at 8:50 am due to the rising water. Why was the warning not issued even after that, the question arises. Many people might have survived if they had received the warning a few moments earlier. A week after the disaster, a new earthquake struck Tibet on Thursday. The magnitude of the tremor was 5 on the Richter scale. Chinese scientists had already warned about the situation in the Himalayas. It is said that many temporary lakes and holes have formed in the crevices of the mountains. Gallons of water are accumulated there. They can break at any moment and bring disaster to the localities of the valley. There is also a fear of an earthquake in Tibet. However, the extent of any damage is not known. The source of the tremor was 14 kilometers deep in the ground. Some tremors were also felt in Joshimath in Uttarakhand, 116 kilometers away.
