Daughter-in-Law of Former Minister Mukul Roy Missing After Nepal Flash Floods
Sarmistha Bhowmik Roy, wife of former Trinamool Congress MLA Subhranshu Roy and daughter-in-law of late Union Minister Mukul Roy, has been reported missing after flash floods struck Nepal near the Tibet border on August 25. She was part of a 30-32 member pilgrimage group traveling to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar. The floods, possibly triggered by a glacial outburst following an earthquake, have caused extensive damage, with hundreds dead and over 900 missing, including many Indians. Rescue efforts face challenges due to damaged infrastructure and disrupted communications.
