    <meta property="og:description" content="A 24-year-old Indian student has died after he nearly drowned in a swollen lake in the US state of Texas where Hurricane Harvey wreaked havoc.
Nikhil Bhatia, a student at the Texas A&amp;amp;M University, was rescued from the Lake Bryan, where he along with another Indian girl Shalini Singh had gone swimming, on Saturday.
Bhatia succumbed to his injuries today while Singh continues to be in a critical condition, according to the Consulate officials, who were in regular touch with the family members in hospital and in India.
Bhatia, originally from Jaipur, along with his friend Singh, 25, from New Delhi, was pursuing Master in Public health were both brought to the local hospital in a critical condition.
According to their friends and some witnesses, the two were swimming in the lake. A sudden current of water pushed them deeper and the students noticed that they were in distress and flagged down nearby police officers.
Bryan Police officers were able to rescue and provide CPR to the victims until medics arrived, according to Bryan Mayor Andrew Nelson.
It wasn&#39;t immediately clear why they were swimming during severe weather.
Consul General of India in Houston has been monitoring their medical needs and situation closely. According to the consulate office, Bhatia&#39;s mother Dr Suman Bhatia has already arrived and was assisted by consulate office amidst devastating flood situations here after receiving her at Dalals airport.
Around 13 million people were battling &quot;catastrophic&quot; flooding and torrential rains in the storm-ravaged Texas where Hurricane Harvey has wreaked havoc, turning streets into raging rivers and claiming at least nine lives.
Meteorologists have forecast that the historic rainfall will dump up to 50 inches by tomorrow.
Heavy rain bands were expected to move in over the Houston area overnight, which will continue the catastrophic and life-threatening flash-flood emergency in the area.
At least 200 Indian students stranded at the University of Houston due to the flooding after Hurricane Harvey hit Texas were being evacuated to safer places, authorities have said.
The students were being provided food and other supplies by the Indian-American community in the area.
India&#39;s Consul-General in Houston Anupam Ray has been in touch with the students and monitoring the evacuation process.
Hundreds of Indian students, who were stranded in their homes and ran out of food, are being helped by the consulate.
Ray said members of the Indian graduate students&#39; organisations had reached out to him through Facebook last night. Despite all roads being inundated with water and closed for traffic, Ray personally went to the apartment complex where more than 250 Indian students were stranded.
According to local community leaders, at least 100,000 of Indian-Americans live in and around Houston area have been badly hit by the hurricane." />

<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Nikhil Bhatia, a student at the Texas A&amp;M University, was rescued from the Lake Bryan, where he along with another Indian girl Shalini Singh had gone swimming, on Saturday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Bhatia succumbed to his injuries today while Singh continues to be in a critical condition, according to the Consulate officials, who were in regular touch with the family members in hospital and in India.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Bhatia, originally from Jaipur, along with his friend Singh, 25, from New Delhi, was pursuing Master in Public health were both brought to the local hospital in a critical condition.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">According to their friends and some witnesses, the two were swimming in the lake. A sudden current of water pushed them deeper and the students noticed that they were in distress and flagged down nearby police officers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Bryan Police officers were able to rescue and provide CPR to the victims until medics arrived, according to Bryan Mayor Andrew Nelson.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">It wasn't immediately clear why they were swimming during severe weather.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Consul General of India in Houston has been monitoring their medical needs and situation closely. According to the consulate office, Bhatia's mother Dr Suman Bhatia has already arrived and was assisted by consulate office amidst devastating flood situations here after receiving her at Dalals airport.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Around 13 million people were battling "catastrophic" flooding and torrential rains in the storm-ravaged Texas where Hurricane Harvey has wreaked havoc, turning streets into raging rivers and claiming at least nine lives.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Meteorologists have forecast that the historic rainfall will dump up to 50 inches by tomorrow.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Heavy rain bands were expected to move in over the Houston area overnight, which will continue the catastrophic and life-threatening flash-flood emergency in the area.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">At least 200 Indian students stranded at the University of Houston due to the flooding after Hurricane Harvey hit Texas were being evacuated to safer places, authorities have said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The students were being provided food and other supplies by the Indian-American community in the area.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">India's Consul-General in Houston Anupam Ray has been in touch with the students and monitoring the evacuation process.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hundreds of Indian students, who were stranded in their homes and ran out of food, are being helped by the consulate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ray said members of the Indian graduate students' organisations had reached out to him through Facebook last night. Despite all roads being inundated with water and closed for traffic, Ray personally went to the apartment complex where more than 250 Indian students were stranded.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">According to local community leaders, at least 100,000 of Indian-Americans live in and around Houston area have been badly hit by the hurricane.</span></p></div></div>
