The Nepal floods have left 22 people from Telangana untraced, prompting the Indian and Nepalese authorities to step up rescue and locating efforts.
Heavy rains triggered severe flooding across Nepal, causing widespread displacement and loss of life. Among those affected are 22 residents of Telangana who are currently untraced after the disaster. The Indian government, through the Ministry of External Affairs, has coordinated with Nepalese officials to locate the missing citizens.
The Nepalese disaster management authority has deployed rescue teams and set up temporary shelters in the hardest‑hit districts. Simultaneously, the Telangana state government has issued an advisory urging families to register missing persons with the Indian embassy in Kathmandu and to stay in touch with local authorities.
Both governments are sharing information in real time, and the Indian embassy has established a helpline for relatives seeking updates. Efforts continue to identify and bring back the missing individuals, while relief operations address the broader humanitarian crisis caused by the floods.
