Amid Nepal Tragedy, Plea Seeks Verified Status, Rescue Of Tamil Nadu Pilgrims
A Public Interest Litigation before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has sought urgent directions to the Centre and the Tamil Nadu government to establish the whereabouts of every pilgrim and ensure their rescue and safe return.
Four ministers from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu arrived in Delhi on Friday in an effort to coordinate the rescue operation for state residents trapped in a flood disaster in Nepal. The flood disaster, now believed to have been triggered by a glacial collapse, has left approximately 100 people stranded inside a hydropower tunnel. The rescue teams are facing a desperate race to reach the trapped individuals.
