Heavy rains have triggered severe flooding in Nepal, with authorities reporting 105 Indians missing as rescue teams intensify search operations.
Heavy monsoon rains have caused extensive flooding across several districts of Nepal, submerging roads, homes and agricultural fields. Local authorities confirmed that the rising waters have left 105 Indian nationals unaccounted for, prompting urgent appeals for assistance.
The Nepalese government, together with the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu, has mobilised rescue teams, helicopters and ground vehicles to locate and evacuate victims. Search operations are focused on the most affected valleys where communication lines have been cut.
Relatives of the missing Indians are being urged to register with the embassy for updates, while humanitarian agencies are distributing relief kits to displaced families. The situation remains fluid as water levels continue to rise, and officials warn that further casualties could occur if the floods persist.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has issued a statement expressing solidarity with Nepal and pledging all necessary support to the rescue mission. Coordination between the two countries aims to expedite the safe return of the missing citizens and provide immediate relief to those stranded.
