Following devastating flash floods that have swept across Nepal, the Karnataka government has established a dedicated support mechanism for state residents caught in the disaster zone. The state administration has activated helpline services to coordinate rescue and relief efforts for stranded citizens and provide updates to their families.
Persons requiring assistance can contact the emergency helpline at 1070 or the dedicated Karnataka desk at 080-22253707. Both numbers are operational to field queries and coordinate support from the state government for affected residents. The helpline aims to serve as a central point of contact for distressed individuals and their families seeking information on rescue operations and welfare measures.
Further assistance can be sought through email correspondence at seockarnataka@gmail.com, where individuals can lodge formal requests for help and provide details about stranded persons. This multi-channel approach enables the state authorities to track missing residents and coordinate with relief agencies operating on the ground in Nepal.
The Karnataka government has urged all citizens with relatives or acquaintances stranded in Nepal to register with the helpline with specific details. State officials are coordinating with central authorities and diplomatic channels to ensure timely rescue and repatriation of affected residents from the flood-affected areas.
