The Chalo Jaai office in Kolkata
Kolkata: The three employees of tour agency Chalo Jaai Travel Club who rushed to Kathmandu a day after the flash floods returned home on Friday, shaken by the scale of the tragedy and the grim realisation that finding the 30 tourists who went missing along with their two colleagues would be a Herculean task.
They are doing their best, but their resources are extremely limited compared with the enormity of the task at hand,” said another. Dibyojyoti Basu, founder of Chalo Jaai and a former journalist, said it was not possible for Nepal to tackle the crisis alone. A fourth executive from the travel firm, Manoj Dutta, has stayed back in Kathmandu to coordinate with local partner Samrat Tours & Travels and try to access information that he can then pass on to the office in Kolkata for dissemination among family members of those missing. “Agencies in Nepal acknowledge this is a Herculean task and they will need resources from other countries, including India.

Basu, who was at a loss over how to assist the families and provide them with information, said he was relieved that chief minister Suvendu Adhikari stepped in on Friday and spoke to them, offering government assistance to those who wished to travel to Nepal in search of their loved ones.
