A bus carrying Indian pilgrims in Nepal's Gandaki province met with an accident, killing seven people and injuring several others. The bus veered off the road and plunged down a 500-feet-deep ravine while returning from the Manakamana Temple.
The deceased included two women and five men, who were identified as Muthu Kumar, Anamalik, Meenakshi, Sivagami, Vijayal, Meena, and Tamilarsi.
Seven other injured passengers were rescued and are undergoing treatment at a hospital in Anbukhaireni.
The accident occurred on a road between the highway and the temple near Shahid Lakhan village, about 120 kilometers west of the capital, Kathmandu.
The bus was going downhill when it slipped off a curve and rolled down the mountainside before landing in a ravine.
