A 61-year-old woman from West Bengal escaped the devastating Nepal flash floods after her Chinese visa for the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage was rejected. Tapati Singha was among 33 people from the state planning the 13-day journey through a Kolkata-based travel agency. After her visa was denied, she changed her plans and travelled to Ladakh instead. The remaining 32 members of the group are now missing, with no information about their whereabouts. The travel agency’s Nepal-based partner has been unable to contact the travellers, while four agency officials have travelled to Nepal to gather information. (PC: NDTV)
