Gujarat families await news of relatives stranded in Nepal

Several families in Gujarat have been left in suspense after a sudden incident in Nepal left dozens of Indian workers and travelers unable to return home. The stranded individuals are primarily from Gujarat, many of whom are employed in the tourism and construction sectors in Nepal's hill towns. Their relatives have been making repeated calls to the Indian embassy in Kathmandu and local authorities, hoping for a clear update on their status.
Indian diplomatic officials confirmed that rescue and repatriation efforts are underway, with coordination between the Ministry of External Affairs, the Nepalese government, and several NGOs. While some of the stranded have been escorted to border points, many remain in temporary shelters awaiting transport.
The uncertainty has taken an emotional toll on the families back home. Mothers, spouses and children have gathered at community centers in Ahmedabad and other towns, sharing prayers and messages of hope. Despite the anxiety, they repeatedly stress that they will not lose hope, trusting that the authorities will bring their loved ones back safely.
Local civil‑society groups have organized food and accommodation for families staying overnight, while volunteers monitor official channels for any new information. The situation remains fluid, and families are urged to stay in touch with the embassy for the latest developments.
