Two sisters from Kotma, Madhya Pradesh, who were stranded during floods in Nepal, were confirmed safe early Thursday after their family lost contact through the night.
A sudden flash flood in the border district of Nepal left two young women from Kotma, Madhya Pradesh, stranded in a remote village. The sisters were caught as water levels rose rapidly, cutting off road access and isolating the area from immediate rescue teams.
Their relatives in Kotma reported that all communication with the sisters was lost by late evening. The family stayed awake throughout the night, monitoring mobile networks and coordinating with local contacts across the border, hoping for any sign of the girls.
Early Thursday morning, a local relief agency confirmed that both sisters had been located and were safe. They were evacuated to a temporary shelter where medical checks were performed, and their family was informed of the positive outcome.
Authorities continue to monitor the flood‑affected region, urging residents to remain cautious as water levels recede and rescue operations proceed.
The incident highlights the cross‑border challenges posed by natural disasters and the importance of rapid information sharing between communities.
