Tea Break Saves Five Chhattisgarh Men Trapped in Nepal Floods

Five men from Chhattisgarh were caught in the sudden flash floods that hit parts of Nepal this week. While navigating the inundated terrain, the group paused for a short tea break, which inadvertently gave them the time to avoid the fastest currents and stay on higher ground. Rescue teams later reached the area and found the men safe, crediting the brief pause for allowing them to remain visible and conserve energy.

Local authorities in Nepal confirmed that the floodwaters rose rapidly, sweeping away vehicles and forcing many residents onto makeshift shelters. The Chhattisgarh nationals, who were traveling for work, were among the few who escaped serious injury.

The incident underscores how simple actions, such as taking a moment to rest, can become critical in disaster scenarios. Officials from both Nepal and Chhattisgarh are reviewing the event to improve safety guidelines for workers traveling across flood‑prone regions.
