Nepal Flash Floods Trigger Missing-Person Reports From MP Families
Floods in Nepal have made some families in Madhya Pradesh worried about their relatives.
The Madhya Pradesh government opened a help control room in New Delhi.
In two days, it received eight reports about people who may be missing.
One report was about two sisters.
Another message concerned two engineers working at a hydro project.
A family from Nagpur also asked the control room for help.
A family from Raisen district reported that relatives were missing in Nepal.
Officials said many messages do not include clear information, making the reports difficult to organize.
