New Delhi, 6 July: Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed
deep grief over loss of lives, especially children in the devastating floods in
Texas, USA.
In his message on
X, the Prime Minister said, "Deeply saddened to learn about loss of lives,
especially children in the devastating floods in Texas. Our condolences to the
US Government and the bereaved families."
At least 43 people, including 15
children, have been confirmed dead following flash floods in central Texas,
authorities said on Saturday. As rescuers continued a frantic search for dozens
more campers, vacationers and residents who were still missing, the casualty
toll may likely rise, authorities said.
The localities beyond the main site of the
disaster in Kerr County were affected by the flooding. A Travis County official
said four people had died from the flooding there, with 13 unaccounted for, and
officials reported another death in Kendall County.
