About 100 Maharashtra pilgrims stranded in Nepal after flash floods are evacuated and sent back to India via Bihar, according to multiple reports. The group reaches Sitamarhi and then proceeds to Patna, where they stay overnight before continuing onward.
The outlets describe coordinated efforts by Bihar officials to manage the pilgrims’ movement out of the affected area. Times of India says the Bihar government arranges transportation and escorts them to key points in Bihar, and also provides extra train coaches to help them travel to Maharashtra. India Today similarly reports that the pilgrims are rescued from flood conditions and dispatched home from Bihar.
Across the accounts, details focus on the route and logistics rather than differences in cause or casualty figures, which are not emphasized in the provided summaries. Times of India specifies “approximately 102” in one report and “100” in another, while both place the rescue in the context of Nepal floods and the return journey through Bihar.
