At around 9 pm on December 8, Nisha Basnet, who was returning to her apartment on a scooter, was struck by a speeding truck at Tinkune Bridge. Caught underneath the truck Nisha and her mangled scooter was dragged nearly 50 metres before the driver finally applied the brakes. The driver alighted from his truck and disappeared into the night.
When police and passers-by pulled Nisha out, she had sustained serious injures below her waist. She was rushed to Civil Hospital not far ...away from the scene of the accident. She was later transferred to Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital where she breathed her last the next day.

Before Nisha was cremated at Pashupati Aryaghat, her family donated her eyes to Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology. Her family members wanted Nisha’s eyes to provide vision to someone who is in need. It was a very thoughtful gesture with an equal measure of poignancy.
Like Nisha, many people have donated—or pledged to donate—their eyes upon their death and given the wonderful gift of vision to blind persons. In Nepal, organ donation is limited to kidneys and eyes. Though bone marrow transplantation, too, has begun, it has yet to catch on.
So I will donate my organs upon my death.
Just give vision to other after you lost your vision.
