The Army of Nepal has been successfully able to detect the crash site where a passenger plane from Nepal carrying 22 passengers has allegedly crashed. The turboprop Twin Otter 9N-AET plane had four Indian nationals, two Germans, and 13 Nepali passengers besides a three-member Nepali crew.
“The search and rescue troops have physically located the plane crash site. Details will be followed,” Brig. Gen. Silwal said on Twitter. Whether the 22 passengers are alive or dead still remains unclear as bad weather made it difficult to locate the aircraft that went missing on Sunday morning.
The Canadian-built plane was flying from the city of Pokhara to Jomsom, a popular tourist town in central Nepal. The condition of the plane belonging to Tara Air that took off at 10:15 a.m. from Pokhara, nearly 200 kilometers east of Kathmandu, is unknown till now, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) said in a statement.
