PM expresses condolence at loss of lives in Nepal plane crash

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday expressed her deepest condolences at the loss of lives in a plane crash in Pokhara in Nepal, according to UNB.

In a condolence letter to Nepalese Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, she wrote, "I am deeply saddened to learn about today’s most tragic passenger plane crash in Pokhara, Nepal, carrying 72 people on board, mostly Nepalese and foreigners from a few other countries, which has reportedly caused the death of all."

"At this moment of profound grief, our thoughts and prayers are with the affected families who lost their most beloved family members and friends and the mourning people of Nepal for their strength to bear the irreparable losses," she said.

"We also offer our prayers for the eternal salvation of the departed souls," said the PM.

A domestic flight, carrying 72 people from the capital Kathmandu, crashed in Pokhara in Nepal on Sunday. At least 68 people were killed in the worst air crash in three decades in the Himalayan nation.
