Before the emergency, Vinod was working as a laborer at a hydropower plant in the Rasuwa district, the region most affected by the salvage operations. Sada and his brother traveled from Saptari to Kathmandu, where they visited multiple hospitals to find Vinod among the survivors or the deceased. After finding no sign of his son, they began walking toward Nuwakot, closer to the power plant. Sada has borrowed money to fund the journey and expressed frustration over the lack of support from authorities. He noted that while he have registered his names at various police stations and military camps, he has been repeatedly turned away. Sada stated that he intends to be persistent in his search until he finds his son or a confirmation of his status.
