State of bodies carried by flood of 'density greater than concrete' hampers identification, Nepalese tells GLOBO

Civil engineer Prabhu Rajpande was leading repair work on a 40 km stretch of road along the Trishuli river in Nepal when a "gigantic flood" swept the area on Wednesday. The disaster destroyed all the reconstruction work he was coordinating, erasing months of progress in a single moment.

The flood mentioned in the article is described as having a "density greater than concrete," which indicates the force and devastating impact of the current. This natural phenomenon of great magnitude severely affected the region.

Due to the state of the bodies recovered from the flood, identifying the victims becomes extremely difficult. The nature of the flood and its effects on the bodies hinder the recognition process.

The Trishuli river is one of Nepal's main rivers, and the destruction caused by this flood represents a significant blow to local infrastructure and to the affected communities in the region.
