Seven passengers, including newborn, feared dead in Nepal helicopter crash
The helicopter that took off from Gorkha was airlifting the new-born for a treatment in Kathmandu with her mother.
The helicopter went out of contact while flying over a forested mountain in Nuwakot district. But the spot of the wreckage is yet to be identified.
According to Devendra KC, spokesperson of the Caan, a Nepal Army team and other rescue officials have been deployed at the crash site. But bad weather has been preventing the search operation.
