Bajhang, April 6: Two people died following an outburst of a water tank set up under the Prime Minister Agricultural Modernisation Programme at Talkot rural municipality-1 in Bajhang.
The deceased have been identified as Gokul Kunwar, 52, and Sundari Devi Kunar, 48. Gokul died on the spot while Sundari Devi died amidst the treatment at Amisha Hospital Chainpur, said District Police Office Chief deputy superintendent of police Rupak Khadka.
