Three members of a family have been killed in a landslide this morning at Bethanchwok rural Municipality-4 in Kavrepalanchwok.

The deceased have been identified as Neer Bahadur Tamang, his younger sister Sabitri Tamang and mother Thulimaya Tamang. 

According to the police, the siblings were killed on the spot while mother breathed her last at Banepa-based Sheer Memorial Hospital. 

Following the accident, a joint team of the Nepal Army, Armed Police Force, and the Nepal Police was mobilised for the rescue efforts.

It is said that the landslide from a quarry buried the house early on Thursday, killing three members of the family.
