Issuing a press release on Tuesday, Yeti Airlines shared that 48 bodies retrieved from the crash site in the Seti River gorge of Pokhara were brought to Kathmandu.
The mortal remains were airlifted to Kathmandu via two helicopters of the Nepal Army this afternoon. However, a post-mortem will be performed on the bodies today.
The bodies have been kept at the moratorium of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Maharajgunj.
As the task of counseling the families and relatives of the deceased was done today, the post-mortem procedure could not be started, the TUTH sources said.
