A tragic accident occurred in Nepal on Friday when a tour bus carrying tourists from India plunged into a gorge and landed in the Marsyangdi River, resulting in the death of at least 27 people. The bus was en route from Pokhara to Kathmandu, and it was reported that many of the injured passengers were in serious condition. The difficult terrain made rescue efforts challenging, and it took seven hours to retrieve the injured and deceased using ropes. The Nepalese Prime Minister expressed deep sadness over the incident, and India sent aid to assist with medical treatment and repatriation of the deceased. This accident is emblematic of Nepal's ongoing struggle with road safety, compounded by its mountainous landscape and narrow roads. The tourism sector, a crucial source of revenue for the country, is also at risk due to such incidents. This tragedy underscores the urgent need for improved safety measures in Nepal's transportation infrastructure.
