Three More Indians Rescued After Nepal’s Devastating Floods

New Delhi – The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) posted an update on Friday that three additional Indian citizens were pulled to safety from the flood‑ravaged market town of Trishuli Bazaar in Nepal. Among the rescued were a five‑year‑old child and his parents, Abhijit Suresh Pawar and Dipika Abhijit Pawar.

With this latest rescue, the tally of Indians saved from the recent Himalayan deluge stands at 169. The MEA shared the names and confirmed that the embassy is arranging an air‑lift back to India for the family.

Beyond evacuations, India has been busy loading its aircraft with aid. So far, seven flights have delivered roughly 95 tonnes of relief material – everything from food packets to shelter kits. Alongside the supplies, 54 Indian personnel have been on the ground: 30 tunnel‑rescue experts, 19 forensic specialists and a five‑member medical team, all working hand‑in‑hand with Nepali authorities.

During a bi‑weekly press briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said New Delhi will keep sending help as long as Nepal needs it. “We have already dispatched forensic kits and Bailey bridges, and more of those are on their way,” he told reporters.

Jaiswal also gave a sobering picture of the wider situation. About 275 Indian nationals remain unaccounted for, while 1,907 have crossed safely into Nepal from China. According to Chinese officials, no Indian travelers are currently stranded in the Tibet Autonomous Region.

The flood situation in Nepal remains critical, but the steady flow of Indian aid and the collaborative rescue efforts are offering a lifeline to thousands caught in the disaster.
