The Madhya Pradesh government has opened a control room in New Delhi and launched a helpline, WhatsApp and email contacts to assist residents stranded in Nepal after the recent disaster.
A sudden natural disaster in Nepal has left several residents of Madhya Pradesh stranded across the border, prompting the state government to intervene. In response, officials have established a dedicated control room in New Delhi to coordinate rescue and relief operations for the affected citizens.
The control room operates round the clock and provides a toll‑free helpline, a WhatsApp number, and an official e‑mail ID for families and travelers seeking information or assistance. The contact details have been widely publicised through state media and the Madhya Pradesh government website.
Authorities say the facility will act as a single point of contact, liaising with Nepalese agencies, Indian diplomatic missions, and local NGOs to expedite evacuations, medical aid, and repatriation. Officials have assured that all queries will be addressed promptly and that the control room will continue to function until the stranded individuals are safely returned home.
The move reflects the state’s commitment to safeguarding its citizens abroad and underscores inter‑governmental cooperation during cross‑border emergencies.
