Flooding and disaster response in Nepal and Tibet

Overview

Devastating floods and flash floods have impacted Nepal and the Tibet border region, causing significant casualties and missing persons. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) expressed solidarity with Nepal and initiated relief efforts, while also raising concerns regarding a lack of transparent information from China concerning damage and casualties in Tibet.

Spiritual leader Sadhguru has proposed the creation of a five-nation Himalayan Board—including India, China, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bhutan—to manage the region as a shared ecological system for disaster response. In response to the crisis, Sadhguru pledged Rs 1 crore to Nepal’s Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund.

The disaster has specifically affected members of the Isha Foundation, with 77 participants of the Isha Sacred Walks Kailash Sojourn reported missing at the Gyirong immigration centre on the Chinese side of the border, alongside three volunteers in Nepal. Efforts to reach the Gyirong area have been hindered by military lockdowns and a lack of official permissions.
