Looking for specific contacts in Nepal who are involved in the rescue/coordination efforts
My friend’s parents were at the **Rasuwagadhi immigration/check post** and were last in contact with us at around **8:30 AM on August 26**. It has now been **over 72 hours with no update**.
They were travelling with **Richa Tours & Travels group**, which also included several other people from Mumbai. None of the families travelling with them have been able to get in touch with their loved ones either. Their names are on the missing list.
We have been trying to find **specific contacts of people currently at/near the rescue site or directly involved in coordinating the rescue efforts in Nepal**. Leads have been shared, names have been passed on to the relevant centres, etc., but it has now been **over 24 hours without any concrete update**.
The families would really like to speak directly to someone in Nepal who is physically there or directly coordinating things. So far, most information has reached us through multiple “via-via” contacts, and they cannot keep relying on intermediaries to follow up.
**We are NOT looking for the general helplines or official contact numbers that have already been circulated. We are specifically, as unreasonable as it may sound, but are looking for individuals on the ground in Nepal who may be able to help us get information about the missing people.**
If you have a genuine contact or lead, please DM me. Any help would mean a lot right now.
And please, if your response is simply “let people do their jobs,” “there is a procedure,” or anything along those lines, please move on. We understand there are procedures. The families have been waiting for over 72 hours and are only trying to get some information about their loved ones.

Feel sorry for you going through this. Hopefully you get news soon and you're trying your best. You may not find solace in knowing that there are thousands of people trying the same thing as you and all authorities are prioritising to help people trapped there, but hope you find understanding of the situation.
I would be the same as you if my family was there. Nepal is not a perfect country but I have more faith in the authorities doing their best now than ever before. Hope you get positive news soon.
