vvvvvChitwan: Bus wreckage has been found on the bank of the Trishuli River at Dwandrang Bensi, Aanbukhaireni Rural Municipality-5, Tanahun. It is suspected that it could be one of the two buses that went missing in Simaltal, Bharatpur Metropolitan City-29, last year.

The wreckage was found about 200 meters closer to Tanahun side from the place where the bus went missing. According to Prateek Singh, Inspector of Muglin Area Police Office, locals reported seeing something like a bus after discovering a fishing net stuck while fishing. Immediately, upon noticing the bus buried in sand, digging work started.

According to him, the blue-colored one seen matches the color of the Ganapati bus that disappeared in Simaltal, so it is possible that it is the same bus. However, he informed that certainty could only be given after the bus is fully retrieved.

On 12 July 2024, two buses went missing along with a landslide from Simaltal on the Narayangadh–Muglin road section into the Trishuli River. The Ganapati bus numbered Bagmati Province–03–001 Kha 2495 and the Angel Deluxe bus numbered Bagmati Province–03–006 Kha 1516 went missing in Trishuli.

Out of 65 people on the two buses, 11 bodies were recovered, and three were injured. Deputy Superintendent of Police Rabindra Khanal from the District Police Office stated that 51 people went missing in the incident.
