More than 400 Indian nationals are reported missing after severe floods hit Nepal, prompting intensified rescue missions.
Heavy monsoon rains have triggered flash floods across several districts of Nepal, inundating villages and sweeping away homes. The disaster has left over 400 Indian citizens unaccounted for, according to Nepali authorities monitoring the crisis.
Rescue teams from Nepal's National Disaster Response Force, the army, and local volunteers are now conducting coordinated search operations along riverbanks and in affected settlements. Helicopters and boats are being deployed to reach isolated pockets where survivors may be trapped.
Officials from both Nepal and India have issued appeals for public assistance and have set up joint coordination centres to streamline information sharing. Families of the missing are being urged to register with the Indian embassy in Kathmandu for updates, while the situation remains fluid as rescue efforts continue.
