India Issues Flood Alert as Over 130 Citizens Missing in Nepal Deluge The devastating flash floods in Nepal have sent shockwaves across the subcontinent, with India issuing flood alerts in two northern states as a massive deluge threatens to inundate downstream communities.
At least 133 Indian citizens are reported missing, many of whom were on pilgrimages to sacred sites in Tibet. The sheer scale of the disaster is difficult to comprehend.
Flash floods have ravaged Nepal's Trishuli river, sending water gushing downstream into the Gandak river that traverses densely populated Bihar before joining the Ganges.
