KATHMANDU, March 26 (Xinhua) -- Four people were killed and 20 others wounded on Wednesday evening after a bus fell off a cliff in central-southern Nepal.
The bus was carrying pilgrims toward Butwal in Rupandehi district after they visited a temple in Arghakhanchi district, but it veered off a highway in Arghakhanchi at around 17:45 local time.
"The bus fell off a cliff while plying a sloppy highway," said Bishnu Prasad Paudel, spokesman for district police.
Police suspected that failure of the brake may be the cause of the mishap, he told Xinhua, adding all the injured were receiving treatment at local hospitals. Enditem
