The stranded people from UP had gone to Himachal Pradesh for tourism, but were badly trapped in the midst of heavy rains, landslides and floods. The Yogi Adityanath government then ran a rescue mission to bring them back.
While some people are being brought back safely from there, the UP government has gathered information about the safety of others.

Efforts are on to bring back 112 more stranded people. At the same time, information about the safety of 77 people in UP has been gathered through various means and arrangements are being made to bring them back soon.
As many as 23 people cannot be reached due a poor network, bad weather, damaged roads, or other issues.
However, the government has deployed its entire network to gather information about these 23 people and has assured that they will also be brought back to UP as soon as possible.
The 23 people who could not be contacted include people from districts like Kanpur, Lucknow, Saharanpur, Meerut, Agra, Kannauj, Jhansi, and Lakhimpur. Most of the people from UP had gone to Manali for tourism purposes.
