Rescuers in Nepal said on July 15 that there was no chance of finding more survivors from last week's landslide that swept two passenger buses and their drivers into a river. Rescuers have so far recovered 11 bodies.
A landslide caused by heavy rains occurred on the morning of July 12 along the Madan-Ashrit highway in Chitwan district (central Nepal), causing two passenger buses to be swept into a nearby river.
There are conflicting statistics on the total number of people on the two buses that crashed. South Asian media put the figure at around 50, while some Western media said there were more than 60.
By the morning of July 15, the search operation resumed, with the participation of hundreds of rescue workers and heavy equipment. Searchers have searched many locations along the riverbank and found more bodies, bringing the total number of victims found so far to 11.
Bhesh Raj Rijal, a senior officer in Chitwan district, said that all efforts were being made to recover the bodies of the victims, but there was no chance of finding more survivors.
According to local officials, the victims' families have asked authorities to continue the search, but this activity does not seem to bring much hope, although at one point more than 300 rescue workers, including many divers, were mobilized.
Nepali Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has expressed grief over reports of dozens of missing passengers and damage to property due to floods and landslides in various parts of the country. He has directed all government agencies, including local administrations, to make maximum efforts to carry out search and rescue operations.
The Nepalese government has banned passenger buses from operating at night in areas where there are warnings and precautions for dangerous weather, the Home Ministry said.
The monsoon season typically brings heavy rains to Nepal from June to September each year, causing numerous landslides in the Himalayan nation. Since mid-June, landslides and floods caused by heavy rains in the South Asian country have killed more than 100 people.
