In a tragic incident, at least 95 people have lost their lives and over 400 are reported missing following flash floods that swept through Nepal's Rasuwa district near the Tibet border. The sudden surge in the Bhote Koshi River struck the Rasuwagadhi-Timure area around 9 am local time, affecting not only Rasuwa but also neighboring Nuwakot and Dhading districts. Among the missing are at least 105 Indian tourists and 37 non-resident Indians (NRIs), according to a preliminary list compiled by the Nepal Tourism Board. The flooding has washed away vehicles, goods, bridges, and other infrastructure, while several hydropower projects were also damaged. Many of those missing are believed to be pilgrims traveling to Tibet for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Rescue operations are underway with 14 helicopters, drones, and sniffer dogs being used to locate missing people and assist those stranded in affected areas. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed solidarity with Nepal and offered all possible humanitarian assistance. The Indian government has also issued an advisory for potential flood threats along the Gandak river in Bihar due to a sudden rise in the water level of Nepal's Trishuli river.
