A MP Hydropower employee has been reported missing following severe flooding in Nepal, prompting a search operation by the company and local authorities.
MP Hydropower has reported that one of its workers went missing after the recent flash floods that struck several districts in Nepal. The company said the employee was last seen at a construction site near the flood‑affected area and has not been located since the waters receded.
Local rescue teams, together with the company's own safety crew, have launched a coordinated search effort, focusing on low‑lying zones and damaged infrastructure where the worker could have been swept away. Officials have not disclosed the worker's name or exact age, citing privacy concerns.
Authorities in Nepal have warned of continued hazardous conditions, urging residents and workers in flood‑prone zones to remain vigilant. The search is ongoing, and MP Hydropower has pledged to keep the public updated on any developments.
The incident underscores the risks faced by construction personnel operating in remote, disaster‑vulnerable regions, and highlights the need for robust emergency response plans.
