On Tuesday, it was the first anniversary of US-Bangla Biman aircraft crash in Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport. Earlier, this year Nepali investigators blamed the pilot for the crash. In a final report on the Himalayan nation's worst aviation disaster in 26 years, Nepali investigators said the captain of the Bangladeshi aircraft "seemed to have an emotional breakdown" before a deadly crash last March. The accident killed 51 people out of which 23 were from Nepal. Majority of the Nepali passengers on that aircraft were Nepali medical students. We asked how Urmila Pradhan, a mother of 24 years old Sweta Thapa, who died in the incident, spent the last 12 months and what she wants to do with compensation.
