NA plane heading Jumla goes missing, crash feared

Update: Feb 17, 9 am: Locals in Dhikure Village of Arghakhanchi have informed Police that they have found the crashed plane in Masina Lek danda, which according to them fell into pieces. It is known that security forces are reaching the place to confirm it. If the information is true, then there is no chance of getting any people alive, unless a miracle had happened. 
Feb 16, 2014: A twin otter airplane has gone missing since 1:00 pm today. The Nepal airline plane carrying 3 crew members and 15 passengers, and had flown towards Jumla from Pokhara at 12:45 pm. It is known that last contact was made with Bhairahwa airport at 1:13 pm when the plane had returned back due to rough weather near Khara, Rukum. Authorities have issued a statement saying the rescue operations are underway to find the lost aircraft. Meanwhile locals in a village between Argakhanchi and Palpa have claimed to have seen the aircraft pretty near over their home, so people have suspected that the craft may have suffered a crash near to the area. Another craft is also sent to the area for the rescue operation and security forces are also being deployed to locate the lost plane. But due to the bad weather, exact information about the plane is not yet found.

The 19 seated 9NABB aircraft was bought 43 years ago and just two years after the same craft is believed to be kidnapped by Nepali Congress cadres including current Prime Minister Sushil Koirala in B.S 2030 during its revolt with the Panchayat regime. It is a coincident that the same Congress abducted aircraft is lost today with 15 passengers including a Local Congress Leader (President of Nepali Congress, Jumla), in just a week after the win of NC president Sushil Koirala for the prime minister post.

Here is the name list of all passengers in the plane.
