Kathmandu, Aug 8 (IBNS) : All seven people, including a newborn, on board the Fishtail Air helicopter were presumed dead after it crashed at Nepal's Bhatine Danda in Nuwakot on Monday, The Kathmandu Post said quoting the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (Caan).

The helicopter that took off from Gorkha was airlifting the new-born for a treatment in Kathmandu with her mother.

The helicopter went out of contact while flying over a forested mountain in Nuwakot district. But the spot of the wreckage is yet to be identified.

According to Devendra KC, spokesperson of the Caan, a Nepal Army team and other rescue officials have been deployed at the crash site. But bad weather has been preventing the search operation.
