PARBAT: Driver Sajjan Pariyar died when the Bolero jeep he was driving met with an accident on the river bank in Mudikuwa, Phalebas Municipality-4 along the Kusma-Parbat section of the Kaligandaki Highway on Monday. 

The jeep (Ga 1 Ja 8059) carrying urea fertilizer from the district headquarters of Kusmabazar and heading toward Phalebas Municipality, fell almost 30 meters below the road on Monday evening.
