Floods in China: 12 dead, more than 100,000 evacuated

Kathmandu. At least 12 people have been killed in floods in central China after incessant rains. According to international media reports, more than a million people have been evacuated due to the floods. The floods affected more than a dozen cities, including Zhengzhou, the capital of China's Henan province.

Some of the videos that have been made public show the streets and train stations of the Chinese city being flooded to the point of water reaching people's chests. Chinese President Xi Jinping said flood control was "very weak."

Jinping said the floods had caused great loss of life and property. He directed all bodies to give priority to the protection of human life and property. Local officials say this is the biggest flood of the century.

The water level in some dams and reservoirs in China has reached dangerous levels. Troops are now mobilized to rescue the people. The floods affected air and rail services in many parts of Henan.

The Hindu lunar calendar, steeped in ancient traditions and customs, follows the cycles of the moon to determine the passing of time and mark important religious events. While most are familiar with the standard twelve lunar months, an intriguing occurrence takes place every few years - the appearance of an additional month known as Mala Maas. In this article, we explore the significance of Mala Maas, its astrological basis, and the religious practices associated with this unique lunar phenomenon.

King Mahendra, who returned to a British hospital in 2024 after undergoing intensive care for a heart problem for the first time, is worried about the creation of a nation called Bangladesh after the partition of Pakistan. According to AK Yadav, a former official of the Research and Analysis Bureau (RAW) in Delhi, the plan was made by Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to divide the Nepal Terai. King Mahendra was a big 'villain' in India's eyes to thwart his plan to keep his security under an umbrella. Therefore, Indira Gandhi knew that it was not possible to divide or make Nepal non-existent as long as she lived. King Mahendra had been living in Dayalo Bungalow of Chitwan since 3 January 2028 BS.
