Nepal flash flood: Australia-based couple from Odisha among hundreds missing
Siddharthi Kumari Sahu and Sandeep Mohapatra’s relatives have been unable to contact them since the disaster struck
An Australia-based couple from Odisha, Siddharthi Kumari Sahu and Sandeep Mohapatra, were among hundreds of people reported missing in Nepal following a flash flood triggered by a wall of mud and rock collapsing into a Himalayan river. The tragedy caused at least 165 deaths. The couple, who had been in Nepal since August 22 for sightseeing, have not been in contact since Wednesday, with their last known location near an immigration office.
Their family is working with Indian authorities to locate them. The state government of Odisha has established a 24/7 control room in Delhi to aid those stranded or in distress in Nepal.
