The rescued pilgrims are reported to be safe and receiving assistance from local authorities and the Indian Embassy. The evacuation comes as part of intensified rescue operations following flash floods that struck the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river basins, affecting several districts including Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and Gorkha.
India has also dispatched humanitarian aid flights carrying relief materials, medicines and food packets to support Nepal’s ongoing disaster response efforts.
