The floods caused widespread destruction to villages, infrastructure, and hydropower projects. India has coordinated closely with Nepal, dispatching relief materials, National Disaster Response Force teams, and setting up helplines. Rescue operations continue amid challenging terrain and disrupted communications, with multiple Indian states and international actors expressing condolences and support.
