A landslide in Kathmandu’s Tarakeshwar municipality, specifically in the Jarankhu area, has put approximately five houses at immediate risk. The incident was triggered by excavation work undertaken for a new house construction project, according to local residents. Around 50 households have been affected overall by the slope failure. Authorities have not yet released information regarding potential evacuations or structural damage assessments. Locals report the excavation destabilized the hillside, leading to the landslide. This incident raises concerns about unregulated construction practices and land management in the region, particularly during the monsoon season. Further investigation is needed to determine the full extent of the damage and prevent future occurrences.
