Mountaineer Nirmal Purja's Family, Neighbors Mourn Demise in Avalanche

Chitwan. The family, neighbors, and teachers of the school where record-breaking mountaineer Nirmal Purja 'Nims Dai', who died in an avalanche, studied are in mourning at his Ramnagar residence. Following his death in an avalanche on Pakistan's 'Broad Peak' mountain, his family members, neighbors, and teachers at Small Heaven, where he studied, in Ramnagar, Bharatpur Metropolitan City-1, are in mourning.

While condolences are being expressed from Chitwan, the country, and around the world, neighbors and relatives have been coming to pay tribute since this morning at the house in Ramnagar where Nims' elder brother lives. Elder brother Jeet Bahadur Purja, who is grieving the loss of his brother, recounted what his brother used to tell him when he went mountaineering, saying that he didn't inform him this time when he went to Pakistan, and became emotional. "Before, when climbing mountains, he used to tell me to light incense at home. But when he went to Pakistan, he left without telling me anything," he expressed his pain emotionally amidst the gathered people.
