“We are physically and mentally exhausted.
We appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to intervene and airlift us,” said Pooja Bhosale, a member of a six-member Pune group stranded in Jilong city in Tibet after a devastating flash flood washed away the local immigration office, leaving them unable to proceed with their journey back to India.
“Two of our female members experienced breathlessness after we reached Kailash Mansarovar. “We were getting ready to go to the immigration office when the flash flood occurred. The flood waters washed away the immigration office. “The doctors have clearly advised us to return to India. We are worried about their health and are already exhausted after travelling such a long distance. “We request Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to intervene and help us. If necessary, please airlift us. Satara guardian minister Sambhuraj Desai and district collector Santosh Patil have spoken to Chorge and other members of the group and advised them to remain in touch with the administration in case of an emergency.
We travelled nearly 800 km and reached Jilong on August 25. Maharashtra disaster management minister Girish Mahajan said authorities had managed to establish contact with four people from Jalgaon, who informed officials that more than 37 other members travelling with them were safe. “Of the 80 people from Maharashtra who are in Nepal, we have so far been able to contact four people from Jalgaon. They are safe and have informed us that more than 37 others with them are also safe.
Because two members needed further medical treatment, bhosale said the group was increasingly anxious, particularly.
Since then, we have been stranded in Jilong city and do not know how we will be able to complete the formalities and return to India,” she said. We need help to get out of here,” she said. We are trying to establish contact with the remaining people,” Mahajan said.
They were treated by doctors here, who have advised us to return to India as soon as possible for further treatment,” Bhosale said on Thursday. We have been stranded here since yesterday and are physically and mentally exhausted,” Bhosale said.
