The search for two missing buses and about 50 missing passengers in the Trishuli river in the Simaltal landslide is continuing on Saturday. Although the search has been ongoing since Friday morning, nothing has been found except for the body of one passenger. The complete details of how many passengers were on board both buses and where they were from have not been made public.

Chief District Officer of Chitwan, Indradev Yadav, has claimed that they are using all the manpower and technology of water-based disaster rescue in Nepal for the search of buses and missing passengers.

'The skilled manpower and technology we have in the country have been used here. Today, we have changed our strategy from yesterday's all-day search operation. This river is narrow, but very deep. The water is cloudy. Speed ​​is high. Therefore, it is a risky situation for divers to go into the water to search,' said Yadav, 'today we are searching using the drones that are used in the water.'

According to him, the body of Rishipal Sah of Bharat Vihar was found in Golaghat during the search on Saturday. "Now Rishipal Sah's body has been found in Golaghat and his family has also identified him," Prajia Yadav said. 

Angel Transport bus No. 03-006 Bh 1516 of Vagmati Pradesh going to Kathmandu from Birgunj and Ganapati Deluxe Bus No. 03-001 Bh 2495 going from Kathmandu to Rauttahat headquarter were swept away by a landslide on Friday morning in Bharatpur Metropolitan City-29 Simaltal on Narayangadh-Muglin road. .

According to Prajia Yadav of Chitwan, there were 24 passengers in the bus going from Birgunj and 27 passengers in the bus going to Gaur. It has been revealed that there are more passengers than mentioned in the challan. We are searching for who they were,' he said. Shaniwar Durwin has also been used in the search for

. Also, motorboats are also being searched from Waripari. Prajia Yadav said that the search on Saturday was easier than on Friday because the water level had dropped due to the sun.

'That's all the manpower and technology we have. In order to recruit more manpower, we have to take the help of foreign manpower, that too is done by divers in surface water. At such a speed, even a diver in the water will not be able to search,' he said.

According to him, the relatives of the passengers are now getting in touch and a help desk has also been arranged for those who inquire.
