5 Indians among 72 onboard; PM Dahal calls for emergency meeting | Nepal plane crash

As rescuers continue to search for survivors in the deadly plane crash in Nepal's Pokhra, 32 bodies have been recovered so far from crash site, as per PTI.

According to multiple reports, of 68 passengers, there were 10 foreigners including 3 children onboard the ill-fated aircraft of Yeti Airlines.

A Reuters report said 5 Indian visitors were also onboard the aircraft.

The plane crashed into a river gorge which is between the Domestic and Pokhra International Airport on Sunday while landing.

Meanwhile, Nepal PM Pushpa Kamal Dahal has called an emergency meeting following the tragic crash.

Nepal has had a fraught record of aviation accidents, partly due to its sudden weather changes and airstrips located in hard-to-access rocky terrains.

The last major air accident in Nepal happened on May 29 when all 22 people onboard, including four members of an Indian family, were killed as a Tara Air plane crashed in Nepal's mountainous Mustang district.
