Severe flooding in Nepal triggers a large-scale rescue effort as the Nepal Army searches for survivors. Multiple outlets report troops moving through flooded tunnels and shafts to reach areas that are difficult to access because of debris, strong water flow, and collapsed or submerged passages.
Both sources cite extensive missing-person figures, with India Today reporting that more than 4,000 people are missing. The Hindu also describes the Army’s on-the-ground search, focusing on the method of crawling through waterlogged underground sections to locate survivors.
The coverage aligns on the core facts: floods have caused widespread disruption, the Army is using crawler-based access through flooded tunnels to continue rescue operations, and hundreds to thousands of people are unaccounted for. However, the outlets differ in how they frame the scale, with India Today foregrounding the “over 4,000 missing” figure, while The Hindu emphasizes the specific search technique and conditions faced by rescuers.
