In an update on its website, the Nepal Tourism Board said 644 Nepalis and foreign nationals were missing from the flood in Rasuwa, as of 12pm today.

This included nine Singaporeans, it said.

A list providing a breakdown of the missing showed that 178 Indians, 51 Malaysians and one person from the Philippines were also unaccounted for.


What we know so far

MFA also encouraged those travelling to or residing in Nepal to eRegister with the ministry, purchase comprehensive travel insurance and remain in contact with their family, hotels, trekking agencies, guides or local tour operators.


“Singaporeans in Nepal who require consular assistance should contact the Singapore High Commission in New Delhi or the 24-hour MFA Duty Office,” it said.

“Please check local road and weather conditions before undertaking journeys,” it said.

Totally no warnings at all.

 

[Hello_Kitty]

wonder if Death Kopitiam Facebook page will have any info???

 

[bigdingdongbell]

Could the main building have withstood the force and remain standing, or partially standing? It looks the strongest in that area, If yes, it might be buried underneath the mud, but there will be pockets or rooms inside the building that contain survivors.
