Nepal-Tibet flash flood: Death toll stands at 392, nearly 1,500 missing

The death toll from the massive Nepal-Tibet flash floods rose to 392 on Thursday, as rescuers raced against time to trace hundreds of people still missing, including 290 Indian nationals. Of the 392 victims, 389 died in the flash floods in Nepal, while three were killed in neighbouring Tibet. A Nepal Police statement said 796 people, including 50 foreigners, have so far been rescued from affected areas by helicopters, while another 796 have been evacuated by land. It did not, however, specify the nationalities of the foreigners. The death toll from the floods has risen to 389, the statement said. An ice-rock avalanche triggered by a glacial collapse near the Nepal-Tibet border sent a torrent of water, mud and debris downstream through central Nepal on Wednesday, devastating towns and villages, washing away homes, vehicles, roads and bridges, and damaging hydropower projects.

E20 won't be replaced by E10, BPCL says amid debate over older cars

Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL), India's second largest fuel retailer, on Thursday said there is no decision to replace E20 petrol with E10, clarifying that the current debate is over whether older vehicles should have access to a lower-ethanol blend and how an additional grade of petrol could be supplied across India's vast fuel-distribution network. In a media call post the company's annual shareholder meeting, BPCL Chairman and Managing Director Sanjay Khanna, however, said he saw no operational or logistical challenge in switching from E20 petrol to E10 if the government decides to change the ethanol-blending policy. I never said that E20 will be changed to E10, he said, adding that it was being debated in some circles whether older vehicles should have an option of lower-ethanol blend fuel. That doesn't mean E20 will be out and E10 will be in, he said. His comments come amid a wider policy discussion over whether owners of older vehicles should have access to E10 petrol,
