  "account": "New Delhi announced on Monday that 158 Indian citizens had been successfully evacuated from Nepal following severe flooding, according to the Ministry of External Affairs. Up to 9 pm on Monday, search, relief, and excavation operations were ongoing, led by specialized forensic and tunnel rescue squads deployed from India. The MEA highlighted that the specialized forensic team from India continued working in Kathmandu, coordinating with counterparts from Nepal's Forensic Science Laboratory. They discussed optimising protocols and documentation. The tunnel rescue team from India had also been operating in coordination with the Nepali Army at Chilime and Langtang hydropower sites. Despite challenging weather and access conditions, the team managed to establish a foothold at the tunnel, with rescue efforts set to continue the following day. Ambassador Naveen Srivastava of India to Nepal interacted with incoming forensic specialists and held consultations with Nepali counterparts. Additionally, a fourth humanitarian flight carrying 11 tonnes of relief supplies, including blankets, sleeping bags, and hygiene kits, landed in Kathmandu on Sunday, further scaling up humanitarian assistance efforts.",
