Another Indian in Texas dies |
A 25-year-old Indian student has died, days after she was rescued along with another Indian man from a swollen lake in the US state of Texas where Hurricane Harvey wreaked havoc. Shalini Singh, a student pursuing Masters degree in public health from the Texas A&M University, was rescued from the Lake Bryan, where she along with another Indian student Nikhil Bhatia, had gone swimming. While Bhatia died in hospital on August 30, Singh, who continued to be in a critical condition, was also declared dead. Around 13 million people were battling “catastrophic” flooding and torrential rains in the storm-ravaged Texas where Hurricane Harvey has wreaked havoc, claiming at least 50 lives. According to local community leaders, at least 150,000 Indian-Americans live in and around Houston area and have been badly hit by the hurricane.
