Fifty-seven people, including 52 foreigners, were rescued from Mustang and Manang districts on Saturday as search and rescue efforts continue in the region. Authorities involved in rescue operations said the efforts to locate the missing people along the famous Annapurna trail will continue on Sunday as well. The blizzard and avalanche that hit mountains in the western region on Tuesday claimed at least 39 lives and left dozens missing. According to Chief District Officer in Mustang Baburam Bhandari, over 300 people who were trekking along the Annapurna circuit have been rescued in the past four days. Source : ekantipur
