GORKHA, JUN 28 -
The five persons, who went missing in the Trishuli River on Monday when the aerial tramway they were travelling on snapped in Ghyalchowk VDC-9 in Gorkha district, have still not been found.
Police said Ranjeet Gaire, Mishra Shrestha, Ram Kumar Shrestha, Amritlal Shreshta and Riju Silwal were swept away by the Trishuli in the accident. Five others managed to swim to safety following the incident.
The victims were on their way to the highway to sell fresh vegetables. Around 100 locals have joined hands with the Police in the search operation, but of no avail.
The accident happened when one of the pillars holding the cable split in the middle of the haul, causing the cable to sag and dunking the tram in the river numerous times, said Suraj Khadka, one of the survivors.
The current of the river, increased by the recent downpour, is hindering the search operation, said police.
