KATHMANDU, DEC 17 -
Out of 19 deceased passengers on board the ill-fated Tara Air aircraft, 17 are Bhutanese citizens.
According to Thamel-based Potala Guest House in the Capital, 14 of the deceased Bhutanese were living in the guest house since Dec. 11 and the remaining in Boudha.
One of the passengers was of Tibetan-origin holding US passport. However, identity of one passenger has not been established yet. In the group of 18 Bhutanese, who had planned a pilgrim trip to Khotang’s Halesi, Kin Lay Namghyel cancelled his trip at the 
last moment. The victims had booked air tickets from Travel Lights Agency in Putalisadak. Kamala Gurung, managing director of the travel agency, said that a Nepali man came to her office and booked 18 tickets.
“I knew about the tragedy when a Bhutanese came to my office and inquired about the missing aircraft,” Gurung said adding that she then immediately informed Tara Air about
their identities. Gurung said that Nepali travelers do not need any document and they get their ticket booked by Nepali names.  Police on Thursday took Gurung under control for an inquiry. Ramesh Kharel, Chief of Hanumandhoka Metropolitan Police Range, said the issue will be discussed with lawyers. “If it is a case of tax evasion action will be taken as per the law,” he said.
Kishore Thapa, Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoTCA), said the issue has become serious. MoTCA is forming a committee to probe the duplication of nationality and the tragedy on Friday, he said. “The bodies of deceased Bhutanese will be sent to Bhutan on Friday.” Meanwhile, Binod Giri, aviation safety chief at Civil Aviation Authority, said that authorities have not established the exact reason of the crash. However, government officials in the accident site said the incident occurred after the plane’s right wing clipped the edge of a mountain.

DEMOCRATS

Who We Are
Young People & Students
Students and young Americans have long played an important role in the Democratic Party—perhaps never more so than in Barack Obama's historic campaign. While young people and students represent our next generation of leaders, they realize that we can’t wait to tackle America’s foremost challenges. Just as we learned in 2008, students know that if we work hard enough, and if we fight long enough, we can finally bring change to Washington and to our country.
Over the past 18 months, students and young people have embodied the spirit of that movement for change—from their work on health reform to student loan reform and more.
The Democratic National Committee’s Youth Coordinating Council—commonly known as the Youth Council—was made an official council of the Democratic National Committee in December 2005, with a goal of increasing involvement of young people in the Democratic Party.
Every year since its creation, the Youth Council has become more and more active and has helped maintain high participation rates and foster greater political involvement. Young people have had new opportunities to become more active with local and national Democrats, and help shape our party across the country for decades to come
