Eight Assam Residents Return After Surviving Nepal Floods

Eight residents of Assam were stranded in flood‑hit Nepal after heavy rains caused widespread inundation. While trapped, they survived on limited supplies of water and biscuits, which kept them alive until rescue teams could reach them.

After several days of isolation, the survivors were picked up by local authorities and transported back to Assam. They arrived in the state’s capital, where officials welcomed them and provided medical checks.

The floods in Nepal have affected thousands of people, causing damage to homes and infrastructure across several districts. The incident highlights the cross‑border impact of natural disasters.

The returnees expressed gratitude for the assistance they received and emphasized the importance of preparedness during such events.
