The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A couple from Chennai survived a flash flood and landslide in Rasuwa, Nepal, while travelling with a group of 57 Tamil Nadu tourists in three buses.
- Their bus had stopped briefly to fix a problem in the mud, and the delay helped them escape before floodwaters, rocks and mud hit; the bus behind them overturned.
- Their Nepali driver warned them to run uphill, and survivors climbed a muddy mound with help from a relative who lowered her saree, then trekked a steep single-file path before being evacuated by army helicopter.
- The couple were among 21 people who returned to Chennai, though officials said around 90 of the roughly 400-plus Tamil Nadu tourists in Nepal remain uncontacted.
What to watch next
- Updates on the around 90 Tamil Nadu tourists in Nepal still not contacted, as stated by Minister Rajmohan on Friday.
- Further rescue and evacuation efforts by the Indian Embassy in Nepal for stranded tourists.
