KATHMANDU: Guberi Sah, a 107-year-old resident of Bindabasini Rural Municipality-2, succumbed to Thursday’s rain and storm.
While seated in his home, he was struck and fatally injured by a sharp piece of metal, part of his neighbour’s house brought down by the powerful storm.
Despite efforts to rush him to LS Neuro Hospital in Nautan for treatment, Sah passed away en route, as confirmed by Deputy Superintendent of Police Keshar Neupan of District Police Office Parsa.
Additionally, the storm wreaked havoc elsewhere, causing significant damage and injuries.
In Bahudarmai Rural Municipality-7 Bahuban of Parsa, the collapse of an Ncell tower during the storm left 60-year-old Jogendra Mahato injured.
