‘People rushed onto streets, calls failed’: How 4 from UP made it home from Nepal

Six residents of Uttar Pradesh made their way back to their homes from Nepal after the devastating floods hit the region. Ashutosh Mani Upadhyay, 23, traveled to Nepal just two months ago to work as a pipeline fitter and was evacuated by helicopter. Krishna Pratap Singh, 45, had traveled to Nepal to find work and was flown to the India-Nepal border by Nepalese authorities.

Raj Kumar Gautam, 44, managed to call his family in Maharajganj to inform them that he was safe. Deepak Gupta's family learned he was in Kathmandu when his phone stopped working. All six reunited with their families in Uttar Pradesh, bringing some relief to families across the region who had been anxiously awaiting updates on their missing relatives.
