Striking contrast in Nepal: @NASA’s satellite shows forest fires spreading in 24 hrs. @NepalPoliceHQ’s data: hundreds of forest & house fire incidents in just 7 days. 3 lives lost. Kathmandu choked by smoke. Air quality worsening. Time to act. #ForestFire #AirPollution #Nepal

NDRRMA Issues Public Notice on Pollution Crisis – Stakeholders Must Act Now! @NDRRMA_Nepal

As of 6:17 PM, Apr 2, 2025 — all air quality sensors across Kathmandu Valley are in the ‘Unhealthy’ to ‘Very Unhealthy’ range. An average AQI of 193 blankets the city. This isn’t normal. This is an air emergency. Time to declare a crisis — and ACT.

Kathmandu is choking. In just 24 hours, forest fire detections across Nepal have surged — and the result? A toxic blanket of smoke suffocating the valley. This isn't just pollution, it's a crisis. 🔥 #KathmanduPollution #NepalFires #AirPollution

Off to Pokhara! @kaflujay @hellopradip

@BiseshSangat Agreed.

@hellopradip Flood seems to be the fear starting today again.

In just about a month since the start of the monsoon season, 43 people have died due to landslides and lightning strikes alone. Proactive measures and precautions are required to address the major challenges the monsoon might cause this year.

The highest level of attention and coordination from all three tiers of the government is essential, with the @NDRRMA_Nepal playing a central coordinating role together with @HydrologyOf.

@KajNepali @khpushkar @ND According to government sources, 58 people have died in just one month, with the majority of fatalities caused by landslides and lightning. Both of these hazards can be mitigated if addressed properly. More here, bipadportal.gov.np/incidents/.

The Government of Nepal is intensifying efforts and increasing vigilance across all levels to ensure preparedness, readiness, and swift response to the monsoon season and water-induced disasters. In partnership with all stakeholders, including public, private, NGOs, civil societies, and development partners, we are dedicated to prevention, effective rescue, relief, and adaptation measures to mitigate the impacts of floods, landslides, and other natural calamities. Together, we stand resilient and proactive in facing these challenges. @moha_nepal @MoHAGunaso @NDRRMA_Nepal @PM_nepal_ @NepalPoliceHQ @nepalapf @NepaliArmyHQ @hello_sarkar @mofaganepal @mofnepal @mofnepal @MOFENepal @mohpnep @DhmNepal
