At least 77 pilgrims from Sadhguru’s Isha Foundation remain unaccounted for after a devastating flash flood struck the Gyirong area of Tibet while a Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage group was at an immigration centre on its return journey, Sadhguru said in a post on X.
The group had stopped at the immigration office while travelling back from Kailash Mansarovar when the flood swept through the area. Sadhguru said the building and much of the surrounding town appeared to have been inundated, and there had been no official information about the whereabouts of those who were at the centre.
Sadhguru says rescue efforts underway
Sadhguru said volunteers and support teams were working with authorities to reach the affected location and assist with rescue efforts. He added that his teams were prepared to participate in the operation despite the risks involved.
“A terrible and tragic flash flood has taken place at Gyirong in Tibet - China, and one of our Kailash groups was caught in it. While on their way back, they were at the immigration office when the flood occurred and the building and much of the town seems to have been flooded,” he wrote.
