Eight residents of Assam who were reported missing after the severe monsoon floods hit Nepal have now been traced by rescue officials. The individuals were found safe after being swept away by floodwaters in the remote districts bordering India.
Local authorities in Nepal, aided by Indian consular officials, are conducting a systematic search for other missing nationals. Teams equipped with boats and helicopters are combing the flood‑ravaged areas, while families in Assam await news of their loved ones.
The incident underscores the cross‑border challenges posed by extreme weather events in the Himalayas. Officials have urged residents in flood‑prone zones to remain vigilant and follow evacuation advisories as rescue operations continue.
