"The search will be resumed early in the morning tomorrow (Monday) both from air and ground," Nepal Army's spokesman Narayan Silwal tweeted.
KATHMANDU, May 30 (Xinhua) -- The Nepal Army has halted all efforts to search a missing small plane with 22 people on board due to "loss of daylight and adverse weather conditions," the army said Sunday night.
"The search will be resumed early in the morning tomorrow both from air and ground," Narayan Silwal, the army's spokesman, tweeted.
The Twin Otter plane with Nepal's Tara Air went missing in the morning when the aircraft was flying from Nepal's Pokhara to the mountain town of Jomsom in Mustang district.
"We are trying to reach the place where locals have allegedly seen something burning," Silwal tweeted hours ago.
Six foreigners, including four Indians and two Germans, were among the 19 passengers on the plane. ■
