India opens 24x7 control room for nationals affected by Nepal flash floods
India has set up a round-the-clock control room to assist Indian nationals affected by the devastating flash floods in Nepal’s Bhote Koshi region.[12][4] Nepalese authorities have reported hundreds of bodies recovered and thousands still missing, including a significant number of Indian citizens.[12][4] Rescue operations are ongoing across multiple districts, with both local and international teams engaged in search and relief efforts.[12] The Indian government is coordinating closely with Nepal to track missing Indians, facilitate evacuation, and provide information to families.[12][4] The control room is handling inquiries, documenting missing persons, and liaising with the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu.[12] The disaster has raised concerns about climate change impacts, transboundary river management, and disaster preparedness in the Himalayan region.[4] India’s response is being watched as a test of its neighborhood-first policy and capacity for regional humanitarian assistance.[12] The situation remains fluid as the death toll and damage estimates continue to rise.[4]
