Nepali lawmakers have raised objections to the remarks by Chinese Ambassador to Nepal, Chen Song, about the ongoing search operation in the Trishuli River to locate two missing passenger buses that were washed away in a mudslide, earlier this month.

The leaders have termed the comments at a time of grief as ‘inappropriate’ and asked the Nepali government to summon the envoy.

The incident happened on July 12. Two passenger buses carrying 65 passengers on board were swept into the Trishuli River by a mudslide in the Simaltal of Chitwan during the wee hours. Only three passengers could escape the bus, while the remaining are unaccounted for and the search operation for the possible human remains and the buses has continued till date.
