Nepal Army on Monday said they have not rescued anyone alive from the site of the plane crash that occurred on Jan 15 in the central resort city of Pokhara. "We haven`t rescued anyone alive from the crash site," said Nepal Army Spokesperson Krishna Prasad Bhandari. A Yeti Airlines passenger plane crashed into a river gorge while landing at the newly-opened airport in Nepal`s Pokhara. 72 people, including five Indians, on board, are feared to be dead. Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has called an emergency meeting of the Council of Ministers following Sunday`s aircraft crash in Pokhara. Dahal has directed the country`s home ministry, security personnel, and all government agencies to carry out immediate rescue and relief operations. PM Modi also expressed grief over the incident. "Pained by the tragic air crash in Nepal in which precious lives have been lost, including Indian nationals. In this hour of grief, my thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families," PM Modi tweeted. In a statement issued earlier on Sunday, Nepal`s Civil Aviation Authority said the flight carrying 68 passengers included, five Indians, four Russians, and one Irish national.
