A group of six tourists from Pune were left stranded in Tibet after a flash flood destroyed the local immigration office, preventing them from completing the necessary paperwork to return to India. The group arrived in Kailash Mansarovar on August 23 and continued their journey to Jilong, a distance of about 800 kilometers, after two women experienced breathing issues.
Local medical professionals had treated the women and recommended they return to India for further health care. The tourists were set to complete their immigration formalities on August 26 when the flood hit. The stranded group has sought assistance from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, requesting aid such as a potential airlift.
Pooja Bhosale, a member of the group, expressed their exhaustion and plea for help. Maharashtra's Disaster Management Minister, Girish Mahajan, stated that government officials are working to locate tourists from the state who have been impacted by the floods and landslides in Nepal-Tibet.
