Singer Vishal Mishra has announced a relief initiative for people affected by the devastating floods in Nepal and Assam. The singer plans to organise concerts in both regions and donate the proceeds from the events to flood relief efforts.

Mishra shared the decision on social media, saying he wanted to contribute personally to relief operations amid the scale of destruction caused by the floods.

The singer said the money raised through the concerts would be directed entirely towards supporting flood-affected communities. He is expected to announce details of the performances soon.

Mishra's initiative received encouragement from several members of the entertainment industry. Actor Rubina Dilaik praised the move, while actor Celina Jaitly also expressed her support.

Nepal floods trigger humanitarian crisis

Mishra's announcement comes as Nepal continues to deal with the aftermath of severe flooding, heavy rainfall and landslides.

The worst-hit areas include mountainous regions close to the Tibet border, where flash floods on August 26 caused extensive destruction. Homes, roads and other infrastructure have been damaged, while rescue operations continue in difficult terrain.

More than 600 people have been reported dead in Nepal, while 2,426 people remain missing, including 517 foreign nationals.

The United States has also reported that 90 American citizens remain unaccounted for following the disaster.

The situation remains particularly precarious because landslides have created lakes in some areas, raising concerns about further flooding and displacement.

Deaths and missing people reported in Tibet

The disaster has also affected areas on the Tibetan side of the border.

State-run Chinese media has reported five deaths in Tibet, while more than 500 people remain missing.

Rescue teams are continuing operations in areas where access has been complicated by destroyed roads, landslides and flood damage.

Mishra's planned concerts will add to ongoing relief efforts as authorities and rescue agencies continue working to assist affected communities in both Nepal and Assam.
