A family in India is anxiously waiting for information after a relative called amid the devastating floods in Nepal.
Heavy monsoon rains have triggered severe flooding across several districts of Nepal, displacing thousands and destroying homes, roads and agricultural fields. Local authorities report rising water levels in the Koshi and Bagmati river basins, with rescue operations underway.
In the bordering Indian state of Bihar, a family in the town of Sitamarhi is holding its breath after receiving a brief call that hinted at the unfolding disaster. The caller, believed to be a relative trapped in the flood‑hit area, could not convey details before the line dropped, leaving the family uncertain about the safety of their loved ones.
Indian disaster management agencies have pledged cross‑border assistance, coordinating with Nepali officials to provide relief supplies and medical aid. Meanwhile, the family remains glued to their phones, hoping for a clearer update as rescue teams continue their search.
