Nepal Flood: 368 Reported Missing in Rasuwa, Including 105 Indians

A devastating flood in Nepal’s Rasuwa District has reportedly left 368 people missing, including 105 Indian nationals, following heavy flooding along the Bhotekoshi River early Wednesday.

According to information shared by the Nepal Tourism Board, authorities are working to verify the reported figures and confirm the identities and details of those reported missing.

The sudden flooding caused widespread destruction in affected areas, with houses, roads and other infrastructure damaged by the powerful flow of water. The incident has raised concerns over the safety of residents, visitors and others who were in the area when the disaster struck.

Search and rescue teams have been mobilised as authorities continue efforts to locate missing people and provide assistance to those affected. Relief operations are also underway, while officials assess the extent of damage caused by the flood.

The reported presence of 105 Indian nationals among those missing has added urgency to efforts to establish the identities and whereabouts of those unaccounted for. Officials are expected to provide further information as verification and rescue operations progress.

Authorities have urged people to rely on verified information as the situation remains fluid. The reported figure of 368 missing is subject to change as officials receive new information, identify survivors and complete the verification process.

The flood is among the latest severe weather-related incidents to affect Nepal, where mountainous terrain and heavy rainfall can rapidly increase the risk of flash floods and landslides.
