At least two people were killed and dozens of others were missing when an overcrowded boat carrying mostly women and children capsized in a river in eastern Nepal.
More than 50 people were believed to be on board the boat and only 14 were rescued from the Saptakosi river, about 250 miles (400km) south-east of the capital Katmandu, government official Durga Bhandari said.
Mr Bhandari said two bodies were pulled from the water.
