Missing Bangalore Trekker Found Safe in Charmadi Forest
Belthangady: A young man from Bangalore who went missing during a trek in the Charmadi reserve forest in Belthangady taluk has been found safe by the police.
Dhanush, part of a 10-member trekking team from Bangalore, was reported missing after they were denied permission to trek in the forest. However, they managed to obtain permission through the recommendation of a police officer.
During the trek on Sunday, Dhanush and another person went missing from the group. While one person rejoined the group, Dhanush remained missing. The Belthangady police and Belur police initiated a search operation after being informed by the trekking team.
Dhanush's mobile network was traced to the dense forest, and he was found safe late at night.
Trekking in the Charmadi forest is prohibited due to its dangerous terrain and strict regulations. Despite this, outsiders often venture into the area for treks, putting themselves at risk. Previous incidents have highlighted the dangers of trekking in the forest.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
