Nepal Probes EV Crash Amid Three Major Accidents on Same Road in 13 Months

Authorities in Nepal’s Makwanpur district have formed a five-member committee to investigate a passenger electric vehicle accident at Chisapani Gadhi on Thursday.

The committee, coordinated by Assistant Chief District Officer Shesh Kanta Paudel, has been given seven days to identify the cause of the accident and submit its report.

The investigation will examine whether the vehicle was carrying passengers beyond its capacity, its route permit, the driver’s condition and the physical condition of the road, according to Chief District Officer Basanta Adhikari.

The committee includes representatives from the district traffic police, provincial infrastructure office and Bagmati Province’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Law.

The Bhimphedi–Deurali road section has witnessed three major accidents in the past 13 months, prompting stakeholders to call for immediate improvements in road safety.
