‘Mera beta nahi mil raha’ People looking for their loved ones, Ground Report from Nepal

“MERA BETA NAHI MIL RAHA”: FAMILIES WAIT AT NEPAL HELIPAD FOR LOVED ONES THE RED MIKE GROUND REPORT At the Nuwakot Bidur Army Camp helipad, the disaster has taken on a deeply personal face. As rescue helicopters bring survivors back from devastated areas, families gather behind military barricades, desperately waiting for news of those who never returned. Drivers, parents, siblings and children remain unaccounted for after floods and landslides severed roads and disrupted communication across remote border regions. For these families, the wait is not measured in hours—it is measured in unanswered calls and names missing from rescue lists. 👉🏽When roads disappear and communication goes dark, how does a family find someone who may still be waiting to be rescued? VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS 🔹 Rescue helicopters bring survivors to the Nuwakot helipad 🔹 Families search desperately for missing relatives 🔹 Communication blackout leaves families demanding emergency towers 🔹 Families recount loved ones still missing [01:10] THE ARRIVAL AT THE HELIPAD At the Nuwakot Bidur Army Camp helipad, families wait anxiously as helicopters bring survivors from disaster-hit areas. Every landing raises the same question: Is our missing relative among them? “अलग-अलग इलाकों से लोगों को रेस्क्यू करके हेलीकॉप्टर्स के जरिए यहां लाया जा रहा है” [01:03] [01:38] SEARCHING FOR MISSING DRIVERS Several families say relatives working as drivers lost contact after the floods and landslides struck. With phone networks disrupted, even a simple call has become impossible. “दो-तीन आदमी है हमारा एक दिन पहले गुम हुआ था वो टाइम से अभी तक फोन नहीं लग रहा है” [01:44] [03:21] A FATHER’S DESPERATE WAIT For one father, the search is deeply personal. His 27-year-old son was working as a truck driver near the China border. Since the disaster, there has been no contact. “मेरा बेटा है वहां टिमूर रास्ता वहां चाइना बॉर्डर में हां टूरे में गाड़ी चलाता था” [03:21] [06:40] THE CRY FOR COMMUNICATION Families say restoring communication must become an immediate rescue priority. Emergency mobile towers could reconnect isolated survivors with relatives and authorities. “नेपाल सरकार ने करना चाहिए तो उसको जल्दी से जल्दी टावर सोलर से टावर वहां पहुंच जाना चाहिए” [06:40] [10:14] THE AGONY OF UNCERTAINTY For some families, the devastation has left an unbearable reality: one member survives while others remain missing. “एक परिवार मिला जिसमें उन्होंने कहा कि सिर्फ एक बेटी सुरक्षित है लेकिन उसकी एक बड़ी बहन मां-बाप तीनों अभी तक लापता हैं” [10:14] 👉🏽In a natural disaster, communication is not a convenience—it is part of the rescue infrastructure. When roads are destroyed and mobile networks fail, families lose their most basic tool for locating loved ones. Rapid restoration of communications, centralised missing-person data and coordinated rescue information can mean the difference between hope and despair. ♦️ Support independent, ground-first journalism.
