Two women from Hyderabad are feared missing following an unexpected tragedy during their Himalayan expedition to the sacred Lake Manasarovar.

According to family members, the duo had embarked on the high-altitude pilgrimage alongside an organized tourism group earlier this month. Communications were abruptly severed following adverse conditions in the region.

Anxious relatives have appealed to external affairs authorities for swift assistance as search and rescue teams navigate the treacherous terrain to locate the missing pilgrims.
