Hey @CNN , itтАЩs the NepalтАУTibet border, not the тАЬNepalтАУChina border.тАЭ Tibet and Nepal share centuries of history, culture, trade and people-to-people ties. Please donтАЩt erase Tibet from the geography
@CNNPR@cnnbrk@CNNEE@cnni@cnnturk@CNNNepal1@cnnasiapr
Unlike Indian media, international outlets like @CNN and others donтАЩt have the spine to call it the NepalтАУTibet border. They keep referring to it as the NepalтАУChina border. At this point, theyтАЩre acting more like Chinese government bootlickers than independent media.
Floodwaters rushed down from Tibet, killing over many people and leaving thousands missing, yet the Chinese state media calls it the "Nepal flood."
Just days before the disaster, someone had already filmed the border hydropower construction sites: nonstop blasting, rock crushers roaring away, tunnels forcibly carved into cliffs, with virtually no safety measures and environmental protection nowhere in sight.
Projects like Rasuwagadhi and Upper Trishuli 3A that were washed awayтАФall backed by Chinese capital or Chinese companies.
The State government official line is that it was a glacier collapse blocking the river and then bursting. They lie without even drafting a script! The entire river valley has been turned into a construction zoneтАФblasting, digging, and diverting the riverbedтАФamplifying the risks.
Tibet has planned over a hundred hydropower dams, and the Jilong border crossing is being bulldozed right into glacier and seismic zones. Power sent east, water discharged south.
Now a landslide dam has formed upstream, liable to burst again at any moment, and downstream Nepal and Bihar in India will be definitely be affected.
Chinese obsession with infrastructure will be their own undoing.

VIDEO | Nepal floods: Former IAS officer Shiva Prasad stranded in Baga Township near Mount Kailash.
In a self-made video, he says, тАЬAbout 34 of us started our Kailash Mansarovar Yatra on the 23rd (August) and reached here via Kathmandu and Lhasa. On the day of the unfortunate incident, we were in Lhasa. From Lhasa, right now we are in a place called Darchen, which is at the foothills of Mount Kailash. In the background, in fact, you can see Mount Kailash. Here, there are about 500 Indians; all of them are fine and safe. Of course, some of them are travelling back through different routes. We are going back via Lhasa. So, as far as the other travellersтАЩ plans are concerned, to some extent, they were disrupted. But there is no panic here, and all pilgrims are safe, fine and healthy.тАЭ

Arjun Poudel, a Nepali journalist for the @kathmandupost, reports his own tragedy:
"I watched my village disappear in an instant...
My eldest aunt was swept away. So was her son, my dai Madhu, and his wife. My other aunt тАФ gone too, they told me. Her grandson Sijan and his wife, caught in the same water. His own son and daughter-in-law, unreachable, unaccounted for. My maternal uncle had gone out that morning to cut grass for the cattle. He never came back."

Deepak Ahuja, 60, and his wife Madhu Ahuja, 57, an Indian-origin US couple on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, have gone missing after devastating flash floods and mudslides struck the Nepal-Tibet border region. The couple was last traced to the Gyirong immigration facility in Tibet on August 26, before they were expected to cross into Nepal through Timure and travel towards Kathmandu.
Their family is now appealing for help as rescue teams race to locate hundreds of people still missing amid severely damaged roads, bridges, power and communication networks. The couple was travelling with a pilgrimage group and had been returning from the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra when the disaster struck.
