NAWALPUR: Lifeless bodies of a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law were found in a forest of Nawalpur in eastern Nawalparasi.

Manadevi Paudel, aged 60, and Bishnu Paudel, 28, residents of Nawalpur Binayi Triveni Rural Municipality-1, had gone into the forest on Sunday morning to cut grass, a routine activity turned fatal.
