A 29‑member family from Bhopal traveling in Nepal has gone missing after a sudden flood, leaving relatives unable to reach any of them.
A sudden flash flood struck parts of Nepal, catching a group of tourists from Bhopal off guard. The family, comprising 29 members, was on a trip in the affected region when the waters surged.
According to relatives, the last communication with the family was about 24 hours before the flood, after which all attempts to contact any of the members have failed. The lack of response has heightened anxiety among the extended family, who are now seeking information about their whereabouts.
Local authorities in Nepal have been alerted, and search efforts are reportedly underway, though no concrete updates have emerged yet. The Indian Embassy in Kathmandu has been informed, and relatives are awaiting further assistance to locate the missing travelers.
