Two persons have gone missing in a boat capsize at Phewa Lake in Pokhara on Monday.
Out of eight people on the boat, six were rescued while two others are missing, police said in the afternoon, as the search was underway.
All eight of them were holidaymakers from Kathmandu. None of them were wearing life-jackets at the time of accident, police said.
In another incident, a woman was swept away by the rain-swollen Rangun river in Dadeldhura on Monday. The woman was carried away by the currents while crossing the river.
Police and locals were searching for the missing woman until late afternoon. Two other women were rescued in the same incident.
