KATHMANDU (Reuters) - A Shree Airlines Dash 8 turboprop made a safe emergency landing in Nepal on Thursday after an "indication of fire" in one of its engines, officials said, in a country on heightened alert over aviation safety after a deadly ATR 72 crash in January.

The Shree Airlines plane was on a scheduled flight from Kathmandu to Bhairahawa in southwest Nepal with 78 people, including the crew, on board.
