Seven of the dead have been identified as the search for bodies continues.
Rescuers in Nepal have recovered a total of 11 bodies after two buses full of people were swept into a river by a landslide, officials said.
Government administrator Khima Nanda Bhusal said seven bodies were identified and relatives contacted. Three of the dead are Indians and the remaining four are Nepali nationals. The buses were on the key road connecting Nepal’s capital to southern parts of the country when they were swept away Friday morning near Simaltal, about 75 miles west of Kathmandu.The first body was recovered Sunday some 30 miles from where the buses fell. Other bodies were recovered from as far as the border with India.
Heavy equipment cleared much of the landslide from the highway, making it easier to reach the area as rescuers expanded their scope toward the southern region from where the first body was found.
