An aircraft with 72 people on board crashed in Nepal on Sunday, a spokesman for Yeti Airlines said, as per news agency AFP.  Nepal prime minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal said the plane was flying from the capital, Kathmandu, to Pokhara in central Nepal, and urged security personnel and the general public to help with the rescue efforts, Associated Press reported.

Thirty-five-year-old Sonu Jaiswal, a liquor store owner who was among the five Indians feared killed in a plane crash in Nepal on Sunday, had gone to pay obeisance at the famed Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu after his wish for a son was fulfilled, reported PTI.

At least 68 out of 72 people onboard a Yeti Airlines flight died on Sunday after the aircraft crashed in Nepal’s Pokhara, the worst aviation accident in the region in 30 years. A loud sound alerted residents in the area who came rushing to see what had happened and saw a huge smoke in the sky and the wreckage of the plane in a gorge close to the Pokhara airport
