  "summary": "Ganesh Gopalakrishnan was at work when he learned that a disaster was unfolding where his family was travelling. Relatives of a missing Sydney family have arrived in Nepal.\n\nA devastating flash flood occurred earlier this week in a region bordering Tibet, killing hundreds and leaving nearly 3,000 people missing. The flood was triggered by a glacier collapse that sent a torrent of rock, ice, mud, and debris through mountain river systems.\n\nThe search and rescue operation was temporarily halted due to adverse weather conditions but has since resumed. According to the Isha Foundation, Chinese authorities are conducting the search and rescue operation. A UK-based Indian-origin couple, Anal Kar and Sanjukta Kar, who were on a Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage, are among those missing. The couple's family last heard from them on August 26.",
