11 drowned in Trishuli still missing
Post Report
KATHMANDU, May 19 - The whereabouts of the 11 passengers
drowned into the Trishuli River Friday along with a truck from the highway has not been
traced yet.
The truck (Na 2 Kha 729), carrying a marriage party, plunged
about 40 metres from the highway, 2 kilometre south of Mugling.
A rescue team member said that the rescue work was started
from Saturday morning, with the help of a crane, brought from Simara but the team could
achieve anything due to the non-transparency and the strong current of water.
The relatives of the drowned people have accused the police
and local administration of not taking the matter seriously. They have laid a blockade in
the highway to protest the government’s irresponsibility.
According to Thankot Police Station, the road has been
cleared for transportation.
