A man from Jammu and Kashmir is among the Indians reported missing after flash floods struck Nepal, authorities said.
Heavy rain triggered flash floods in several districts of Nepal earlier this week, overwhelming rivers and causing widespread damage. Rescue teams have been deployed to locate survivors and retrieve the injured, while authorities continue to compile a list of missing persons.
Among those reported missing are several Indian nationals, including a man hailing from the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Indian diplomatic officials in Kathmandu have been notified and are coordinating with Nepalese authorities to assist in the search.
The incident underscores the cross‑border impact of natural disasters in the Himalayan region, prompting calls for stronger cooperation on disaster response and early warning systems.
