‘We cannot just sit at home’: Ranchi family plans Nepal trip to find missing man
The Ghosh family has endured their worst 24 hours since they have been unable to contact their 41-year-old brother Ramprasad. He is one of 288 people missing after flash floods struck Nepal, triggered by an earthquake and an avalanche. These floods have killed 359 people and left 1,500 others missing. Among the 288 missing Indians, 73 are missing from the Trishuli One hydroelectric site where Ramprasad worked.
The family has not spoken to him since Tuesday and has contacted the Jharkhand migrant workers' cell and the Indian Embassy for information. The Indian consular authorities in Nepal have been informed and a search is underway, but Ramprasad remains untraceable. The Ghosh family, including his father and brother, are now planning to travel to Nepal to find their missing brother.
They are determined not to sit at home, stating that they will leave tomorrow to search for Ramprasad and bring him back home safely.
