Kathmandu: At least seven people, including a woman, were killed and 30 injured early on Wednesday when a passenger bus plunged into a river in the Bagmati province of Nepal.
The Kathmandu-bound passenger bus lost control and fell into the Trishuli River at the Ghatbesi locality, The Himalayan Times newspaper reported.
At least seven people, including a woman, died in the accident, according to Gautam KC, Superintendent of Police (SP) at the Dhading District Police Office.
At least 30 passengers were injured in the accident and were rescued by the locals along with the Nepal Police, Armed Police Force and Nepal Army.
