Kathmandu — Nepal’s insurance sector has swung into damage-response mode after severe flooding on the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers in Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading districts caused widespread loss of life and property, with multiple insurers and the Nepal Insurers’ Association urging affected policyholders to come forward and begin the claims process.
The Nepal Insurers’ Association expressed deep sorrow over the loss of life and property caused by the flooding in Rasuwagadhi and downstream areas, paying tribute to those who died and extending condolences to bereaved families. The association said it was seriously concerned about damage to homes, vehicles, and industrial and business establishments, and affirmed that the insurance sector stands with affected policyholders. It has asked all insurance companies to facilitate and assist customers through the claims process and said it would coordinate to ensure damage assessment and settlement move as quickly and effectively as possible.
Individual insurers have echoed that call. Shikhar Insurance asked policyholders whose insured properties in Bhotekoshi, Rasuwa and Nuwakot were damaged to contact its branches or claims department.
