The death toll in Dang bus accident has reached 20 with over three dozens injured and many more still missing, reports said.

The tragedy occurred Monday morning after an overloaded passenger bus (Na 2 Kha), heading from Krishnanagar of Kapilvastu district to Swargadwari of Pyuthan, skidded off the road and plunged into Rapti River, some 150 meters below, at Bagasati VDC in Dang district.

According to the District Police Office, although 20 bodies have been recovered so far the identities of only ten have been ascertained. They are: Bal Krishna Karki, Ram Prasad Chudali, Sudrin Miya and Khim Bahadur Rawat of Arghakhanchi district, Kashmira Khatun and Kusum Khatun of Pyuthan, wife of one Rajesh Sunar and his 11-month old baby girl of the same district, Magar Kainla of Kapilvastu district, and bus owner Shiva Kumar Gupta of Bhaluwang, Dang. Many injured passengers are said to be in critical condition and have been taken to Nepalgunj for medical treatment.

Army and police personnel along with some YCL cadres have started rescue works at the site to find some 30 passengers who are said to be still missing. However, due to lack of cranes and rescue equipments they have been having difficulty in finding any survivors.

The bus had plunged into Rapti River after hitting the wall of the bridge on the road. Reports said that some 35 people on board the bus were from India. They were all on a pilgrimage in Nepal.

The United States has said that there was “no change” in the status of Nepal’s Maoists, who are currently listed in its terror watch list.

“I don’t think there’s any change. There’s no change in their status” US State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said in Washington. He was making this comment on the issue in the backdrop of a meeting between US envoy in Kathmandu Nancy Powell and Maoist leader Prachanda.
“There’s a particular listing. And I don’t have in front of me what exactly what it is, but at this point there’s no change,” he added.

Despite its victory in the recent election, the CPN- Maoist (CPN-M) is still demmed as a terrorist outfit by the US.

The US had listed the CPN (Maoist) as a terrorist organisation in 2004

Coordinator of Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF), Upendra Yadav, has on Tuesday indicated that his party could be a part of the next government if it is formed garnering broader political consensus.

“The MJF will consider to join the government led by any party provided the party shows acumen in taking all major political forces into confidence,” he said while speaking at an interaction program held in the capital.

He also urged the parties to forge broad consensus prior to the first sitting of the Constituent Assembly, which is expected to formerly implement the agenda of republic, among others.

The MJF has emerged as the fourth largest party after the CA election by securing 52 seats.
