'We Are In Touch With Them': CM Devendra Fadnavis Assures Safety Of Maharashtra Tourists Stranded In Nepal Amid GenZ Protests

Mumbai: The ongoing unrest in Nepal has left several Indian citizens stranded, including around 150 people from Maharashtra. Families back home are growing increasingly anxious as calls and online messages to their loved ones remain unanswered.

Speaking to the media, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, “This is an international issue. It is better if the Government of India speaks on it. Our tourists, including those from Maharashtra, who are visiting Nepal, are being brought back. We are in touch with them.”

The released list of stranded individuals includes men, women, and students from Maharashtra who had travelled to Nepal for tourism, studies, work, and religious visits. While the document has provided clarity on who is stuck, it has also deepened concern for relatives waiting at home, especially as official updates remain limited.

As the situation in Nepal continues to unfold, families in Maharashtra are looking to both the state and central governments for reassurance and swift action to bring their loved ones back safely.
