Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said the government will immediately form a commission to look into the crash of US-Bangla plane at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu on Monday.

PM Oli, who went to the crash site at TIA to take stock of the situation, said the government will make necessary arrangement for the rescue and other related tasks.

Talking to media persons, PM Oli said the government will form a probe panel to look into the accident and make all necessary arrangements for the treatment of injured passengers.

Expressing his sadness over the tragic incident, Oli expressed his condolences to victims and their families and wished speedy recovery to the injured passengers.

He praised Nepal Army personnel and the TIA staffers for their pro-active role in the rescue operation. He said that he wanted to call Bangladeshi Prime Minister to inform about the incident but could not establish a contact as PM Sheikh Hasina was out of country.
