The published information includes only cases verified by the disaster risk reduction and management committees in the districts, Radio Nepal said, and the authority compiled the list from details received following decisions by those district committees, according to the People's Review.

Rasuwa district has the highest number of missing people in the list. The two reports give slightly different district figures — Radio Nepal, citing the authority, puts Rasuwa at 1,583, while the People's Review lists 1,538 for Rasuwa, followed by Sindhupalchok with 219, Bardiya with 74, Jumla with 63, and Kailali and Saptari with 51 each.

Among the foreign nationals listed as missing, 54 each are from Malaysia and Ukraine, 33 are from Australia, 11 from Russia, nine from South Korea, eight from Germany and two from Italy, the People's Review reported. Their details were received through the Department of Consular Services under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, based on information from the respective countries' diplomatic missions.

Families can check the details of missing Nepali nationals by scanning the QR code provided by the authority or visiting its website, and can also obtain the information from their local governments or District Administration Offices. Anyone who finds an error in a name or other detail in the published list can submit a claim to the authority by email, explaining the correction sought.

The authority has clarified that the published list is not final. Details of other missing persons will be added once information is received from the District Administration Offices, and an updated notice on missing foreign nationals will be issued once further details arrive from the diplomatic missions.
