Asim, a dry fruit seller in central Delhi, is among those deeply affected. His grandmother and extended family reside in Jalalabad, one of the worst-hit areas. 'I just pray my grandmother is safe,' he said, struggling to connect with his family due to disrupted communication lines.
Others, like Nasir Khan and Kareem, are also grappling with uncertainty and the emotional toll of the disaster, struggling to stay in touch with loved ones as communication remains patchy.
