‘Trying to reach a safe location’: Missing UK couple's last message from flood-hit Nepal
The UK-based couple with Kolkata roots were in Nepal for Kailash yatra when the floods struck, leaving them out of contact with their family.
A UK-based Indian-origin couple, Anal and Sanjukta Kar, have gone missing during a Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage in Nepal, according to their family. The couple, who lived in the United Kingdom since 2001 and have two children, were travelling to complete immigration formalities at the Nepal-Tibet border when they disappeared. They were last seen near Timure, close to the Nepal-Tibet border.
Sanjukta, a teacher, had sent her last message via WhatsApp to her father on August 26, stating that a landslide alert had been issued and that they were attempting to reach a safe location on foot. The family has contacted the travel agency, police, and West Bengal chief minister Suvendu Adhikari for assistance in finding the couple.
