At least 68 people are confirmed to have died. Official said. And many were critically injured and taken to hospital, unconfirmed reports said.
Local resident Deeveta Kal told the BBC how she rushed to the crash site after seeing the aircraft plunge from the sky shortly after 11:00am local time (05:15 GMT).
“By the time I was there, the crash site was already crowded. There was huge smoke coming from the flames of the plane. And then helicopters came over in no time,” she said.
“The pilot tried his best to not hit civilisation or any home,” Deevta Kal added. “There was a small space right beside the Seti River, and the flight hit the ground in that small space.”
The flight set out with 68 passengers on board, including at least 15 foreign nationals and four crew members.
