Project 108 has a dedicated team overseeing the development of all merchandise associated with the project. This includes the concept, design, branding, quality, production and overall presentation of the collection.

Accordingly, we request that well-wishers, supporters, businesses and other third parties do not independently design, produce, reproduce, sell or distribute merchandise bearing the Project 108 name, identity, imagery or associated branding without prior authorisation.

The Project 108 name, identity and associated creative materials are being developed and protected as part of the project. Unauthorised use or production of such merchandise is therefore not permitted.

This request is made with respect for the enthusiasm and goodwill of everyone who wishes to contribute to Project 108.

As the project is of national and historic significance, it is important that anything carrying the Project 108 identity maintains a consistent standard of quality, authenticity and integrity.

We sincerely appreciate the support, creativity and goodwill shown towards Project 108, and kindly ask everyone to allow the dedicated team to lead and coordinate merchandise-related initiatives.

A newly formed barrier lake near the Nepal-Tibet border could breach within the next 72 hours, prompting Chinese authorities to step up monitoring and emergency preparations following Wednesday’s deadly floods.

China’s Ministry of Water Resources estimated that the lake contained around 2 million cubic metres of water as of Thursday morning. A further 3 million cubic metres of water is expected to flow into the lake over the next three days, significantly increasing the risk of a breach, China Central Television reported.

The lake has formed near the confluence of the Chhochen Khola and Purepu Tsangpo rivers in Nepal. Chinese authorities are closely monitoring the lake and conducting flood simulations to assess the potential impact of a sudden release of water.

The Chhochen and Purepu rivers originate in Tibet and merge before flowing into Nepal, where the river system becomes the Bhotekoshi, a major upper tributary of the Trishuli River.

Authorities are carrying out hydrological analysis and modelling to assess possible downstream flooding and are preparing emergency rescue and flood-control measures should the barrier fail.
The warning comes just days after severe flooding caused widespread destruction and casualties along the Nepal-China border, heightening concerns over the vulnerability of settlements and infrastructure downstream.

Chinese authorities said monitoring of the lake would continue, alongside hydrological assessments and preparations for possible emergency response operations.

The Prime Minister expressed his deepest condolences to the Government and people of Nepal following the recent floods, extending his thoughts and prayers to those who have lost their lives and loved ones in the tragic crisis.

Addressing the 2nd Hindu Kush Himalaya Parliamentarians’ Meet, the Prime Minister said that the waters of the mountains have sustained communities, shaped economies and livelihoods, and provided precious natural resources. However, the recent disaster in Nepal has once again reminded the region of its shared vulnerability.

Recalling his 2019 call to world leaders to protect the Third Pole, which sustains nearly two billion people through its vital water resources, the Prime Minister noted that the situation has continued to deteriorate. Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate, threatening water, food and energy security, as well as livelihoods across the region.

He emphasised that as the region confronts the need for mitigation and adaptation, adaptation is no longer optional but a necessity for survival. While science is critical, he said its effectiveness depends on translating knowledge into policies, budgets and concrete action.

The Prime Minister noted that the eight countries participating in the meeting may have different circumstances, priorities and policies, but share common vulnerabilities. He called for the meeting to mark not the end of discussions, but the beginning of meaningful action.

He concluded by assuring Nepal that it is not alone, stating that Bhutan stands with Nepal, and so does the wider Hindu Kush Himalaya family.

More Than 1,300 Missing After Deadly Floods Devastate Nepal-China Border Region; Dalai Lama offers condolences

More than 1,300 people remain missing, including at least 700 foreign nationals, after catastrophic flooding struck parts of Nepal and China on Wednesday, devastating villages and leaving a trail of destruction across the border region.

At least 177 people have been confirmed dead, while search and rescue operations continue amid difficult conditions.

According to the latest figures from the Nepal Tourism Board, at least 517 foreign nationals are currently reported missing in Nepal.

India has recorded the highest number, with 178 nationals missing, followed by the United States with 65, Ukraine with 53, Malaysia with 51, Australia with 35, the United Kingdom with 33 and Canada with 25.

On the Chinese side of the border, at least 558 people are reported missing, according to state media. Of those, 260 are foreign nationals.

Many of the missing foreign nationals in Nepal are believed to have been travelling on trekking expeditions or religious pilgrimages in the remote valleys of northern Nepal, an area renowned for its dramatic mountain landscapes and popular among international tourists and pilgrims.

The sudden floods have severely affected communities and travel routes in some of the region's most remote areas, complicating efforts to locate missing people and deliver emergency assistance.

The disaster has also raised renewed concerns about the vulnerability of Himalayan communities and tourism infrastructure to increasingly severe weather events.

The Dalai Lama has expressed condolences to those affected by the disaster, while pointing to climate change as a possible contributing factor behind the increasing severity of such extreme weather events.

“I pray for all those who have lost their lives, and offer my sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the bereaved and to all those affected by this tragedy,” said the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader for millions of followers of Tibetan Buddhism worldwide.

Meanwhile, the figures are expected to increase, with the scale of the disaster prompting intensified search and rescue efforts on both sides of the Nepal-China border, while authorities continue to assess the extent of the damage and verify the number and identities of those missing.
