Loose boulders rolling down the Yarubhir in Dharche-1 are becoming a major cause of frequent accidents.

Pulsing Gurung was hit by a boulder that came rolling down Yarubhir along the Manaslu foot trail in Gorkha last Friday morning. Gurung, who is 33, was airlifted to the National Trauma Centre in Kathmandu for treatment but succumbed to his injuries during the course of the treatment.
