Kathmandu, July 29 (Reporter) A 12-member search and rescue team from India, which travelled to Nepal to search for two buses and their passengers missing after a landslide earlier this month, has identified two potential sites where the bus wreckages might be stuck. The possible sites are within three kilometres downstream from Simaltal, a Nepalese official said. “We will search in these areas,” said Chief District Officer of Chitwan Indradev Yadav. According to Kathmandu Post, Yadav bid farewell to the rescuers from India’s National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) on Sunday. Despite joint efforts with the Nepali rescue teams of the Nepal Army, Nepal Police, and Armed Police Force, the buses that went missing in the Trishuli River on July 12 remain unlocated. The Indian team, equipped with advanced sonar devices, had joined the search on July 21. "We will review the work done so far by the joint teams, express our gratitude to the Indian team, and bid farewell to the Indian team. The Nepali team will continue the search operation until we receive further instruction from the centre,” he added. The Indian technical team reported that the depth and currents of the river were greater than anticipated. “They said that the river is around 50 metres deep and the current was three times more than they thought. They suggested using a massive magnet of around 80 kg, tied with an iron chain,” Yadav explained. The tragedy occurred on July 12 when two buses carrying 65 passengers along the Narayanghat-Muglin road section were hit by a landslide and swept away by the Trishuli River. Three passengers managed to swim to safety. The search teams have so far recovered 25 bodies in the Narayani riverbanks and in the Triveni Dam area, approximately 103 kilometres downstream from the incident site. Only 19 of these bodies have been confirmed as victims of the incident...////...
