Kathmandu, In the flood-ravaged hills of Nepal, drones are doing something far beyond their traditional role of taking aerial photographs or mapping -- carrying the dead home.
Seven bodies were airlifted by drones this week from Devighat-3 in Nuwakot to Devighat-5, from an area so difficult and dangerous to navigate that rescuers could not safely reach it, according to a report published in The Kathmandu Post newspaper on Wednesday.
