As flash floods ravage Nepal, PM Modi offers ‘all possible humanitarian aid’
Flash floods in Nepal have left at least 400 travelers missing, including 105 Indians, according to officials. Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with his Nepalese counterpart, Balendra Shah, on Wednesday to assure India's full support and humanitarian assistance. Out of the missing, 37 NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) are among the 384 travelers—291 foreigners and 93 Nepalese nationals—lost in the Rasuwa district bordering Tibet.
Most of the Indians were heading for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra to Tibet when the disaster struck. The Indian embassy stated they remain engaged with Nepalese authorities for early rescue and relief for affected Indian nationals. Two helpline numbers were provided for assistance and information related to Indian nationals affected by the floods: +977 985 131 6807 and +977 970 910 7500.
