Nepal flash floods: Karnataka sets helpline desk to assist stranded people and their families
The Helpline number for those who are stranded is 1070 / 080-22253707 and individuals can write an email to seockarnataka@gmail.com
Following the devastating flash floods in Nepal, the Karnataka Revenue department has established a helpline and State Emergency Operation Centre to aid stranded individuals and their families. The Karnataka government has reached out to tour operators, family members, and those currently trapped in Nepal, urging them to provide information through a Google document.
The department is coordinating with the Ministry of External Affairs via the Embassy of India in Nepal and Beijing. Stranded individuals can reach the helpline at 1070 or 080-22253707, or email seockarnataka@gmail.com.
On August 26, massive flash floods originating from the Bhotekoshi river swept through villages in Rasuwa district, leaving around 133 Indians missing. The helpline operates in English and requires comments to be in full sentences, without abusive or personal language. The Hindu's new commenting platform has been adopted, and registered users can continue engaging with articles. Those without an account are encouraged to register and login to post comments.
