Tourism Board to Set Up Information Desk for Missing, Rescued Tourists

Kathmandu, Aug. 31: The Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) is set to operate an Information Desk to provide updates on tourists who went missing or were rescued following the Bhotekoshi flash flood in Rasuwa on August 26.

The decision was taken at a joint meeting involving officials from the Nepal Tourism Board, Tourist Police, and representatives of organisations from the tourism sector.

The Information Desk will provide details about missing and rescued tourists and facilitate coordination among agencies involved in ongoing search and rescue operations.

Director General of the Department of Tourism, Ramkrishna Lamichhane, said the desk would help strengthen coordination in the search for missing tourists and establish an integrated system for collecting and sharing information.

The move comes as authorities continue search and rescue efforts in areas affected by the devastating Bhotekoshi flood.
