After Nepal flash floods, tourism board says 105 Indian travellers missing
At least 105 Indian tourists are among 384 people still missing after flash floods hit Nepal, according to the Nepal Tourism Board. The disaster was triggered by an earthquake and caused widespread devastation, with walls of muddy water and debris destroying multi-story buildings and villages. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has offered condolences to Nepal's leaders and pledged support.
Two Indian military planes are on standby to deliver aid and relief material. Communication networks in the affected areas are disrupted, making it difficult to establish contact with survivors. India's neighboring states, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, are on high alert due to concerns over potential overflow of the Gandak River.
