Body of a farmer not traced even after three days, suspected to be swept away
NDRF team searching in Tunga river
Chikmagaluru, June 29: The fire brigade and national disaster response force (NDRF) team, with the help of boats, have been searching for the body of farmer Umesh from Nemmar village, suspected to be washed away in Tunga river, from Friday morning. But no clues were available for the rescue teams.
The Tunga river was flowing above the danger level due to heavy rains in Sringeri taluk for the last three days. At this time, Umesh had been to the river for fishing. But when he did not return even after next day morning, his family members lodged a complaint in the Sringeri police station suspecting that he might have swept away in the river.
On Thursday, Sringeri police, fire brigade and a team of officials led by tahsildar had searched for the body of Umesh in the river. But there was no clue about his death. But the district administration has decided to take up the searching operation from the NDRF team and from Friday morning, more than 15 members of NDRF searched in the river in two teams on Friday. Along with the NDRF, police and fire brigade teams also participated in the operation. In the evening, the searching teams did not get any information about Umesh.
