Nepal floods: 288 Indians uncontactable, 200 stranded in Tibet seeking evacuation
As rescue operations continued along the Nepal-Tibet border following devastating flash floods and landslides, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Thursday that 288 Indian nationals remained uncontactable in Nepal and Tibet, while around 200 Indians stranded in Tibet were seeking evacuation. Randhir Jaiswal said, The first group of 73 people who are working on the Trishuli-1 power project. Then, two separate groups of 37 and 49 nationals from Tamil Nadu, who travelled for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through Samrat and Fly Everest Travels. There is a group of 32 Indian nationals from West Bengal who travelled with the help of Samrat Travels in Timure, which is in Rasuwa district. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the missing Indians included those working on hydropower projects and tourist groups. These are five major groups who comprise, by and large, 288 people that we are talking about, he added. Twenty-one Indians from Tamil Nadu were rescued, he said, and were being brought back. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson said the government was working with local authorities to locate those who could not be contacted. There may be some people who are missing there and we are trying our best to locate them through the local authorities, Jaiswal said at a press briefing. The scale of the disaster continued to grow. Nepal Police said more than 300 bodies had been recovered from areas affected by Wednesdays floods, while Nepals National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority reported that 826 people remained missing. A Nepal police update reported by International media says the death toll has risen to 359, as of 17:00 local time Nepal officials reported that rescuers were searching for survivors after massive flash floods destroyed homes, washed away roads and swept away bridges along the Nepal-Tibet border. Nepal Tourism Board spokesperson Sunil Sharma told the BBC that 644 tourists remained unaccounted for following the Bhotekoshi floods. They included 178 Indians, 127 Nepalis, 53 Ukrainians, 51 Malaysians, 65 Americans, 35 Australians and 33 British nationals. We are coordinating with the relevant authorities for their search and rescue, Sharma said. Nepal Tourist Police Deputy Superintendent Bisworaj Adhikari told the BBC that authorities were continuing to collect information from tour operators about tourists who had travelled to the affected region. The disaster has particularly affected routes used by pilgrims and tourists travelling towards Mount Kailash and Mansarovar in Tibet, as well as trekking areas including Langtang and the religious site of Gosain Kunda. At least 77 people reported missing in Nepal were travelling with the Isha Foundation, founded by spiritual leader Sadhguru. The group had completed its Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage and was returning to Kathmandu when contact was lost, according to foundation coordinator Maa Gambhiri. She told ANI that a member of the foundation team spoke to group leader Praveen at around 9.05 am local time on Wednesday. When they attempted to contact him about 10 minutes later, there was no response. We couldnt get through to him or anyone else. It seems the incident occurred within those ten minutes, she said. The group includes people from the US, Australia, Britain and several European and Asian countries, with many of Indian origin, she said. In Tibet, China said the number of people missing in the mudslide disaster in Gyirong county had risen to 558, including 260 foreign nationals. Three deaths have been confirmed in the region, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV. Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said around 100 Chinese nationals were also reported missing in Nepal. He said Beijing was maintaining close communication with Nepal and supporting joint search-and-rescue operations. The two sides of the border continued to face the threat of further landslides. Basanta Raj Adhikari, director of the Centre for Disaster Studies at Tribhuvan University, told BBC Newsday there was a possibility of second and third waves of flooding or landslides. We dont know yet, he said, adding that experts were in contact with colleagues in China monitoring the situation. There isnt high rainfall, but [a] landslide might happen, Adhikari said, linking the increasing risks in the Himalayas to climate change. We are observing but we didnt know that that would happen on [a] particular day, he said s reported by BBC.
