At least eight persons were killed and remaining 14 were injured when a tipper they were travelling on fell some 60 metres down the Bhena-Jhite road in Damodar Kunda Rural Municipality-3 in Upper Mustang this afternoon.
According to Mustang Chief District Officer, Shishir Poudel, the tipper (Ba 2 Ka 2219) was heading towards Tama Khola from Syangboche carrying the labourers of Kali Gandaki Corridor when it lost balance and met with the accident at 2:00 pm on Friday.
