A search operation is currently underway for a group of 11 U.S. citizens of Indian origin who went missing near the Rasuwa Garhi immigration center on the Nepal-China border. The group, led by Anil Goyal, a U.S. citizen originally from Delhi, was reportedly on a pilgrimage trip to Mount Kailash when the region was struck by severe flooding.

In a separate but related development, reports indicate that other Indian nationals, including an Assam-based professor and her husband, are also among those missing in the flood-affected areas of Nepal. These individuals were part of a larger tourist contingent traveling through the region.

While both reports confirm that the individuals went missing during their travels in the flood-hit zone, there is a lack of clarity regarding the exact timeline of their disappearance and the current status of the rescue operations. NDTV reports that the missing persons were part of organized tourist groups, but the outlets do not provide specific details on the coordination between Indian, Nepalese, and Chinese authorities in the search efforts. The situation remains fluid as authorities attempt to navigate the difficult terrain and communication challenges caused by the extreme weather conditions.
