Sixteen Keralite nationals have been repatriated safely from Nepal following the recent floods, while authorities have confirmed that 45 others are accounted for.
Heavy rains triggered severe flooding in Nepal, affecting thousands of residents and foreign nationals. Among those caught in the disaster were several Keralite workers and travelers. According to reports, sixteen of them have now been brought back to India without injury.
The Indian embassy in Kathmandu, in coordination with local authorities, has been monitoring the situation of all Indian citizens in the flood‑hit areas. Officials say that a further forty‑five Keralites have been located and are currently safe, though details of their exact whereabouts have not been disclosed.
The repatriation effort underscores the ongoing challenges faced by Indian expatriates during natural calamities abroad, and authorities continue to provide assistance to those still awaiting evacuation.
