2 dead, dozens missing in Nepal boat accident
By BINAJ GURUBACHARYA,Associated Press Writer AP - 1 hour 52 minutes ago
KATMANDU, Nepal - An overcrowded boat carrying mostly women and children capsized in a river in eastern Nepal on Sunday, killing two people and leaving dozens missing.
More than 50 people were believed on board the boat and only 14 were rescued from the Saptakosi river, about 250 miles (400 kilometers) southeast of the capital Katmandu, government official Durga Bhandari said.
Bhandari said two bodies were pulled from the water.
Police and local fishermen were searching for survivors but fog and cold weather was making their work difficult, Bhandari said.
Most of the people on the boat were women and children, said Bhandari.
He said it was unclear how many people were actually on board because survivors were giving conflicting reports.
Travel by boat has become necessary because many roads and bridges in the area were damaged by flooding during the monsoon season.
