21 Tamil Nadu Pilgrims Return From Nepal Floods

Twenty-one pilgrims from Tamil Nadu arrived safely in Chennai on Friday night after surviving catastrophic flash floods and landslides in Nepal that struck during their sacred Kailash Manasarovar Yatra. The group, part of a larger contingent, was caught in the disaster in the Rasuwagadhi region near the Nepal-China border on August 26. Their return marked a moment of profound relief, though it was shadowed by the knowledge that many other Indian travelers remain missing. The survivors were received at Chennai airport by state ministers, who oversaw their immediate welfare. The group had endured a harrowing ordeal, including a grueling trek to safety after the disaster.
