'Nepal plane crash: PM Pushpa Kamal met the families of the dead passengers'

The 72nd missing passenger since Sunday's plane crash in Nepal has not yet been found. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda met the families of the passengers killed in the plane crash on Thursday.

The Yeti Airlines plane, which took off from Tribhuvan International Airport in Nepal's capital Kathmandu at 10:33 am on January 15, crashed on the banks of the Seti River in Pokhara. A total of 72 people, including four crew members, were on board the aircraft, of whom five were Indians. After three days of search operation, bodies of 71 people have been recovered. A search operation was launched on Wednesday to find the last missing passenger, but so far he has not been traced. Given the magnitude of the accident, rescuers have almost given up hope of finding the last passenger alive.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda met the families of the passengers killed in the plane crash. Expressing condolences to the families of the deceased, he assured that the bodies of those killed in the accident would be handed over to them soon. He also gave orders to expedite the process for this.
