By Redoy K

A landslide in Nepal swept two buses carrying 63 people into the Trishuli River early this morning. The incident occurred on the Madan-Ashrit Highway amid heavy rainfall. Prime Minister Prachanda has directed government agencies to conduct search and rescue operations. The weather has disrupted flights and continues to hamper rescue efforts. This disaster adds to Nepal’s mounting monsoon-related casualties, with at least 62 deaths reported last week. Bd pratidin
