A devastating flash flood in Nepal's Rasuwa district has triggered a massive search-and-rescue operation after the Bhote Koshi River suddenly surged through the region. A preliminary list prepared by the Nepal Tourism Board says 384 travellers are reported missing, including 105 Indian nationals. The list includes 291 foreign nationals and 93 Nepali nationals whose whereabouts are being verified. The disaster has reportedly killed at least seven people, while 25 people have been rescued so far. Nepal Army, Armed Police Force and Nepal Police personnel have been deployed, with 14 helicopters involved in search-and-rescue efforts.

A clothing-related confrontation at Sinhagad Fort near Pune has triggered a major controversy after four tourists from separate groups were allegedly assaulted. Police say the visitors were allegedly confronted over their attire, with one complaint involving a family and an 8-year-old child wearing shorts. Videos of the clashes have since gone viral. A case has been registered against eight people, including three women, under charges including assault, rioting, unlawful assembly and criminal intimidation.
