Multiple passengers feared dead in Nepal as landslide sweeps away bus
A LANDSLIDE in central Nepal swept two buses carrying at least 60 people into a swollen river early today.
Local authorities reported that continuous rain and further landslides were making rescue efforts difficult.
Three survivors apparently swam to safety, but by late morning, rescuers had not found any trace of the buses, which were probably submerged and swept downstream in the Trishuli river.
