The daring rescue operation was carried out by the Nepal Army, and the incident has since gone viral on social media platforms. The video, shared by the Nepal Army on X, shows the young man standing on the rooftop surrounded by water and debris.
As a helicopter approached, he waved his T-shirt to attract the attention of the rescue team. A rescuer then reached out to pull him to safety. The Nepal Army shared the video with a caption urging people to stay vigilant during the crisis. The recent flash floods have taken a heavy toll, with at least 19 people reported dead and hundreds still missing.
