Devastating flash floods in Nepal have killed at least 332 people, while nearly 1,500 people remain missing across Nepal and Tibet. India said 288 of its nationals are still out of contact, including 73 workers at a power project in Trishuli. However, 21 missing Indians from Tamil Nadu have been rescued and are being brought back home. The Ministry of External Affairs said more than 200 Indians have sought evacuation assistance, with many stranded in Tibet. The floods, possibly triggered by an ice avalanche near a Himalayan river, have destroyed settlements and severely damaged roads, bridges and hydropower projects. (PC: India Today)
