Flash Flood in Gyirong Leaves 77 Isha Foundation Pilgrims Missing, Rescue Underway
A flash flood struck the Gyirong area near the Nepal-Tibet border, inundating an immigration center and leaving 77 pilgrims and three volunteers from Sadhguru's Isha Foundation missing. The group was returning from the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage when the disaster occurred. While 495 pilgrims from 21 groups have returned safely, hundreds remain in Tibet and Nepal. Sadhguru is personally overseeing rescue efforts alongside local authorities, though official information on the missing individuals remains unavailable amid disrupted communications.
