Tulasa Pun asked about her husband Man Bahadur and son Himal as soon as she regained consciousness leaving her relatives in a dilemma. They have falsely consoled her saying the duo is fine fearing that her condition may worsen if told truth at a stage when she can´t even speak properly.
"How long can we falsely console her?" asks Prem Bahadur GM, a relative attending her. She has received severe injuries in head and limbs and her family members have not been able to visit her as they are busy making arrangements for funeral rites of her husband and son.
All six injured persons receiving treatment at the hospital along with her are serious. Two of them can speak but four others can´t despite regaining consciousness.

Three of the 11 injured in the accident have been referred to capital Kathmandu.
