A political spat erupted in the Tamil Nadu Assembly between the ruling TVK and DMK over the rescue of pilgrims stranded in Nepal following flash floods.

Minister A. Rajmohan clarified that 400 pilgrims from Tamil Nadu were in the region, contradicting earlier reports of 103, as the state government coordinates emergency relief.

The Chief Minister has convened an urgent meeting to expedite the evacuation of stranded residents, with families in Tiruchi and Thanjavur awaiting updates on their relatives.
