Nepal flash floods trigger cross-border rescue concerns for Indian nationals

More than 100 people were reported killed, while over 750 people were missing, including many Indian nationals. Search and rescue operations were underway in affected areas near the Tibet border. The situation drew immediate attention in India because several pilgrims and travellers were caught in the disaster zone. The incident also raised concerns about disaster preparedness in Himalayan border regions. It is relevant for exams because it combines geography, disaster management, and India’s cross-border humanitarian response.
