Family members of a Canadian couple missing in Nepal after a flash flood along the Himalayan border continue to search for them, expressing hope and concern. The couple, Seema Rawla’s brother Sumit Rawla and sister-in-law Shubhakshi Rawla, were preparing for a mountain hike when they were caught in the sudden flooding. Seema Rawla told CityNews that her brother called her at 7 a.M. Via FaceTime, indicating they were safe before the disaster struck.
The flood, which hit the region on Wednesday, disrupted travel and communication, leaving the couple unaccounted for. Local authorities are investigating the incident, but no official confirmation of their condition has been released. The family remains hopeful, relying on updates from local contacts and emergency services.
