Ten deceased persons were recovered from the Gandak River in Uttar Pradesh, a spill‑over effect of the recent floods in Nepal.
Ten bodies were recovered from the Gandak River in Uttar Pradesh, officials said, as the river swells with water that has surged from flood‑hit areas of neighboring Nepal. The recovery operation was carried out by local police and disaster‑relief teams after reports of missing persons surfaced following the cross‑border flood.
State authorities have launched a systematic search along the riverbanks, deploying additional personnel and boats to locate any further victims. Families of the deceased have been notified, and the district administration is coordinating with relief agencies to provide immediate assistance to affected communities.
The incident underscores the trans‑national impact of the monsoon‑season floods that have battered Nepal’s Terai region, causing rivers to overflow into Indian territories. Officials from both countries are monitoring water levels closely and have urged residents in vulnerable areas to remain vigilant.
