April 29, 2015 22:53

Around 400 people from Maharashtra were rescued from earthquake-hit Nepal in the last four days and the state government had established contact with all the persons from Maharashtra who were missing in the

Himalayan nation except one, an official said.

"Until 2pm today, about 400 people from the state have returned to Delhi and have informed of their return to the Maharashtra Sadan. However, as per the information received from Maharashtra Sadan and some districts, a majority of people have come back to the country as commercial flights are now operating and roads have also opened up. So (some) people have reached or (are) reaching their home towns without informing the state authorities," an official from the Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's office told PTI.

"There is one person with whom the state is yet to establish contact," he added.
