The pilot and co-pilot died in the accident while all nine passengers were safe but injured. The victims bemoan that though it’s been five months since the accident, the insurance company and Kasthamandap Air have done nothing to settle the compensation to the passengers.
The insurance company and Air Kasthamandap need to provide compensation to the injured passengers but they have been delaying the process.
The victims’ complaints surfaced at an interaction program organized by Reporters Club Jumla Chapter where representatives of the insurance company and Kathamandap Air were busy blaming each other for the delay in compensation.
One of the injured passengers, Meghraj Giri has been undergoing treatment on his own. Giri complained that Air Kasthamandap has only given him Rs 20,000 so far.
