Following this disaster, the Nepali Army carried out a search operation and found 68 corpses. Additionally, the plane’s black box from the Monday morning catastrophe has been found. The army said on Monday that not a single passenger had survived. 72 persons in all, including 4 crew members and 5 Indians, were on board. According to Krishna Prasad Bhandari, spokesman for the Nepal Army, “We have not removed anyone surviving from the accident scene.”

According to the reports, the Yeti Airlines aircraft also included 5 Indian passengers. They were all citizens of Uttar Pradesh’s Ghazipur and Varanasi who traveled to Nepal to explore the Pashupatinath temple.
