Four microbuses have become stranded in the Roshi River along the BP Highway, and rescue efforts are currently underway. According to District Police Chief SP Komal Shah, the water flow in the river is increasing, and darkness is creating difficulties for the rescue operations. On 21st Baishakh in Kavrepalanchok, personnel from the Armed Police Force’s 15th Battalion successfully rescued 35 students trapped in a submerged bus in Shreekhandapur.
During the rescue, the police confirmed that the number of passengers stuck between Roshi-7 Laskot and Ghumaune remains unverified.
