Jalgaon: After the mortal remains of Indian pilgrims killed in a road accident in Nepal were brought back to Maharashtra's Jalgaon, Union Minister of State (MoS) for Youth Affairs and Sports, Raksha Nikhil Khadse, said on Sunday that the Indian Embassy and the Nepal government have worked together on this mission and that the medical team has provided significant support.
"A bus veered off the highway and fell into a ditch yesterday, around 11 in the morning (on August 23)... We have brought the mortal remains back by aircraft after the postmortem. Medical staff are there to support the 16 people who have been admitted. The Indian Embassy and the Nepal government are working together on this mission, and the medical team there has supported us a lot. Around 92-95 total passengers went to Nepal," said Union Minister Raksha Khadse.
An Indian Air Force's C-130 J aircraft, carrying the mortal remains of 25 Indian pilgrims killed in the road accident in Nepal, landed at Jalgaon Airport in Maharashtra on Saturday.
At least 27 Indian nationals were killed and 16 others injured when a bus with an Indian registration number plunged into the Marsyangdi River at Anbukhaireni Rural Municipality in the Tanahun district on Friday.
The bus was en route to Kathmandu from Pokhara when it skidded off the road at Ainapahara in ward 2 of the rural municipality and fell about 150 metres into the river at around 11:30 am (local time) on Friday.
While 26 people died at the crash site, one more succumbed to injuries at Old Medical College in Chitwan, according to Deputy Superintendent of Police Santosh Paudel of the District Traffic Police Office, Tanahun.
Autopsies of the deceased were performed at Bharatpur Hospital and the bodies were handed over to Indian authorities for transportation.
Raksha Nikhil Khadse, along with Maharashtra legislator Sanjay Shubhakar, reached Nepal on Saturday morning to enquire about the health condition of the injured Indian nationals.
