Four members of an Odia family residing in the UK are reported missing after severe flooding hit Nepal, prompting rescue teams to search the affected areas.
Severe monsoon-driven floods have swept parts of Nepal, causing widespread disruption and prompting emergency response teams to launch search operations. Among those affected are four members of an Odia family who were traveling in Nepal and are now reported missing. The family, originally based in the United Kingdom, had been on a visit when the floods struck.
Local authorities in Nepal, together with disaster management officials, have deployed rescue personnel and volunteers to locate the missing individuals. The search is focused on flood‑hit districts where water levels remain high and road access is limited. Officials have asked the public to share any information that could aid the operation.
The incident has drawn attention from the Indian diaspora, with community groups in Odisha and the UK monitoring the situation closely. Consular officials are coordinating with Nepalese agencies to ensure that any assistance required by the family is provided promptly. The outcome of the search remains pending as rescue teams continue their efforts.
