A week has passed since the flood that came with 'cloud burst' (arighopte rain) in Dharali in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand state of India. On July 20, the severe floods in the Kheerganga river destroyed hotels and houses in the Dharali market area.

Some houses have been washed away and reached Bhagirathi river. More than 50 people are estimated to be missing in the flood. Although the Uttarkashi police said that 4 people died, only 2 bodies have been found so far.

21 Nepalis have also gone missing in Dharali area, according to the Nepali embassy in Delhi. Based on the information provided by the Uttarkashi police and administration, the embassy has released the names of the missing persons. But the search has been confused because the names and addresses of some of the missing persons have not been revealed. The addresses of none of the names released last Monday have been revealed.

Counselor Prakash Malla of the embassy in Delhi said that the name may have been unclear because the names were collected based on the information received. He said that it was difficult to match the names that came from different districts saying that there was no contact because the address and surname were not disclosed. He said that even those who came in contact with

have not received complete details. In the list released by the embassy on Monday, most of them match the names sent from Jajarkot saying that they are not in contact. "It can be assumed that it may be from Jajarkot, but it is not possible to say until the full details are received," said Malla, "those from Dhading who were not contacted by the embassy have been contacted, now only those from Jajarkot are left." Shahi, Hari Bahadur Khadka, Prabhati, Keshav, Nirmala Khadka, Laxman, Subas Vick, Ramesh and Priya. Dipak Magar, Suraj Rana, Man Bahadur, Neem Bahadur, Ravi Singh and Ram Bahadur are also mentioned in the statement released by the embassy.

Ravi Singh (44), Ravi Singh (25), Suraj Rana (46), Priya (22), Ramesh (24), Subas Vick (24) and Laxman (60) are not in the list sent from Jarjarkot. Although the names of others are similar to those said to be out of touch from Jajarkot, it is not possible to ascertain the address and surname of some of them as they are not disclosed.

Malla says that it is difficult to identify those who are not in contact as the address and surname are not revealed. It is confusing not only the embassy but also the family members. It is becoming difficult to distinguish whether the person belongs to his/her family by the name alone .

Now the rescuers have been managed a collective kitchen and accommodation for the Nepalis along with the locals on the high hill of Dharali area. In that area, Nepalis have come for road construction, apple picking, hotel work and heavy carrying for going to Gangotri Yatra . Now is the season of Gangotri Yatra. So far, it has been confirmed that 21 Nepalis are not in contact with Dharali.

Search and rescue work is going on in Dharali area. Recently, after the phone service resumed, those who were said to be missing have also started getting in touch . Uttarkashi DM Prashant Arya said that 26 Nepali workers have come in contact to work in the Border Road Organization (BRO) on Sunday alone. They escaped during the flood and saved their lives.

'Many people are coming in contact, now it is not clear how many are missing,' DM Arya said, 'The situation in Dharali is slowly becoming easier.'
