  "account": "Veteran mountaineer Dr Milind P Chitley, known for leaving a medical career to pursue his passion for the mountains, was among the Indians reported missing after flash floods in Nepal. The 60-year-old, who built a successful adventure company, and his wife Janhavi were traveling with about 40 pilgrims on behalf of his Mumbai-based Hills and Trails. The group, which included two prominent Mumbai doctors, Dr Gayatri Deshpande and her husband Dr Anand Deshpande, were among those uncontactable. Chitley, who holds extensive mountaineering records, had undertaken the Kailash-Mansarovar pilgrimage over 25 times. The group's journey began on August 23 and was scheduled to end on September 6.",
