J'khand man stranded in flood-hit Nepal, family seeks Centre's help

Ranchi, A 41-year-old man named Ramprasad Ghosh from Jharkhand is currently stranded in Nepal, with his family urgently seeking government assistance to locate and rescue him, according to an official. Ramprasad had traveled to Kathmandu two months ago to work on a hydropower project. The last time his family spoke with him was through a social media call on Tuesday.

Recently, as news of devastating flash floods in Nepal emerged, the family has been desperately trying to reach out to Ramprasad since Wednesday morning, but he remains untraceable. His father, Ranjit Kumar Ghosh, a 75-year-old man, expressed that the family is experiencing sleepless nights, anxiously awaiting any information about their son's safety.

According to Ramprasad's sister-in-law, Ditya Ghosh, he has been employed at the hydropower plant for the past six months. Ditya mentioned that Ramprasad had returned home on leave two months ago and stayed for 10 days before leaving again. The family has urged both the state and central governments to take action in tracing and rescuing Ramprasad from the flood-stricken area in Nepal.

Ditya noted that the locations covered in television news reports are the same sites where Ramprasad was working. Shikha Lakra, the team leader at the state migrant control room, stated that they have written to the Indian Embassy, providing all the necessary details about the stranded man.
