Some 500 rescuers resumed their search of the site of Friday’s incident in Chitwan district, about 86 km west of the capital Kathmandu, but security personnel and divers have so far only found a curtain from one of the bus windows and a pair of trousers, said Khimananda Bhusal, deputy chief administrator of the district.
“Chances of finding survivors are slim because over 30 hours have passed since the buses were swept into the river. The water level has receded this morning, but it is still very murky,“ Bhusal told Reuters by telephone.
