Over 300 officers, including divers, were scouring the river for passengers and the two buses themselves, said Kumar Neupane, spokesperson for Nepal's armed police unit.Grieving relatives waited on the banks in shock. The force of Friday's landslide in central Chitwan district pushed the vehicles over concrete crash barriers and down a steep embankment, at least 30 metres from the road.
The rainfall is hard to forecast and varies considerably, but scientists say climate crisis is making the monsoon stronger and more erratic.
