A photo has been trending on social media since around 3 pm on Friday. The photo of an injured child brought to Dhulikhel Hospital for treatment searching for his parents remained trending for about 2 hours.
Keshari Tamang also saw that photo. As soon as she saw the photo, she ran to her sister's room. There, she neither found her sister nor her son.
Keshari started getting more and more nervous. She asked everyone around about her sister. Her sister, however, got news that she had left her room in Bhaktapur in the morning to go to the village (Roshi in Kavre).
What she had suspected, after reaching Dhulikhel Hospital, was true. The child was her sister's son, who had been injured in the bus accident in Namobuddha.
On Friday afternoon, around 2 pm, a bus (Ba 3 Kha 8398) heading from Banepa to Sughure in Roshi Rural Municipality-6 met with an accident in Buchchakot of Namobuddha Municipality. The accident occurred about 300 meters below the ground, killing 8 people. Keshari's sister and son, who were walking with their 18-month-old son, also met with the same accident. After the boy was found injured, a search was conducted for his parents for about 2 hours. After 2 hours, the boy met his relatives, but he would never be able to hold his mother's arms. His mother Sumi Tamang died on the spot in the accident. Sumi's identity was only identified by her husband Nirajan Ghising on Saturday morning. Sumi, who hails from Ghyanglekh, Sindhuli, had been living in Bhaktapur. Relatives are holding the boy and comforting him at the hospital.
According to Chief Superintendent of Police Rabin Karki of the District Police Office, Kavre, all eight people who died in the accident have been identified. The deceased are Megh Bahadur Tamang, 73, Raju Tamang, 55, Indra Bahadur Tamang, 75, of Kavre Roshi-6, Phulmaya Tamang, 34, of Ward No. 7 of the same municipality, Maya Tamang, 60, and Pyari Maya Tamang, 60, of Ward No. 8.
Similarly, Bam Bahadur Bhandari, 30, of Dailekh (a Nepali Army officer working in Trinetra Dal Battalion Bhakundebensi) and Sumi Tamang, 22, of Sindhuli Ghyanglekh Rural Municipality-4, also died in the accident.
* Earlier, it was corrected that the doctor said that the mother of the injured child is undergoing treatment in the ICU.
