KATHMANDU - Rain-induced landslides have left 14 people dead and 8 others missing in Nepal, police said on Sunday.

"Different incidents of landslides have claimed 14 lives in Ilam district, while four others are missing. Similarly, four trekkers are missing in a flood in Rasuwa district," Binod Ghimire, Nepal Police spokesperson, told Xinhua.

Among the dead in Ilam, six were from the same family and five others from another family, noted Ghimire.

Incessant rainfall from Friday has affected daily lives in most parts of Nepal, triggering landslides and floods that have obstructed highways and roads.

A three-day ban on vehicular movement into and out of the Kathmandu Valley has been imposed since Saturday.
