KATHMANDU: The officials on Friday said that the bodies lying at Mt Everest would be collected once the session’s Everest expedition comes to an end.

The bodies which have been traced by the squad of joint Mt Everest Clean-up Campaign supported by the government and Nepal Mountaineering Association would not be picked immediately, said Dundu Raj Ghimire, director general at the Department of Tourism.

Ghimire made this remark while speaking at a press conference organized to inform about the status of solid wastes collected from Mt Everest which began from April, 2019. The 45-day solid waste collection campaign would come to an end on May 27.
