GORKHA, Jan 12: Although a thick fog, induced by the recent heavy snowfall that enveloped the region got cleared up after four days on Monday, it reappeared today adding woes to earthquake victims.

A chopper of Nepal Army (NA) carrying relief materials failed to land after fog covered northern parts of the district on Tuesday.


A NA helicopter managed to land with health officials, blankets, biscuits and other relief materials at 9 am this morning.

The NA had planned four trips, but only one was possible after weather deteriorated.
