Indian Students Marooned in US Hurricane Safe: Indian Diplomat

200 Indian students are stuck in neck deep water at the University of Houston after Hurricane Harvey hit Houston badly. She also said that she is in touch with the Consul General of India in Houston, Anupam Ray, who is in charge of the rescue operations.

It is not yet clear why the Indian students were swimming in such severe weather conditions. "They are safe. [Consulate General] is organising food", Ray tweeted. Indian students Shalini and Nikhil Bhatia are in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). According to the consulate office, Nikhil is yet to show signs of improvement while Shalini is recovering.

A newborn Pakistani baby suffering from a cardiac ailment, Rohaan, was issued a medical visa hours after Indian Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj announced the Indian government's intentions to do so on twitter. The person who alerted the officer was with the two students, both in their 20s.

Louisiana was the worst hit of the seven states by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which caught the administration of then president George W Bush utterly unprepared for the devastation it caused, killing upwards of 1,800 people, and then failing to respond to it adequately.

Meteorologists have forecast that the historic rainfall will dump up to 50 inches by Wednesday.

Harvey, the most powerful hurricane to hit the USA in 13 years, has left a trail of destruction as it swept through Texas after making landfall on Saturday, pummelling the region with heavy rains and claiming at least five lives.
