According to the TUTH, the dead bodies will be handed over to the families after the postmortem of all bodies is completed by this evening. However, there is a delay in the postmortem process due to excessive burns on the victims’ bodies. The TUTH reported that it has been taking at least four hours to complete the postmortem of one body.


A plane of Saurya Airlines met with an accident during take-off from Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) to Pokhara at 11:11 AM on Wednesday.
