Six students missing in boat mishap in Assam | The rescue operation is on to trace the six students, who went missing, after their boat capsized in river
Brahmaputra. Out of the total 17 students, four boys and two girls are still
not traceable. Their boat capsized in Sualkuchi area near Guwahati on Friday evening.
The local fishermen, who were in close proximity, rescued 11 students, when they
saw the boat capsizing. A joint team of the National Disasater Response Force
and the Border Security Force are carrying out the rescue operation. "When we
suspect stationary water at some place, the divers are asked to carry an under
water search. They have covered an area ranging from 15 to 20 kilometers, but
nothing has been found," said K Singh, BSF rescue official. As per reports, a
group of 17 students had gone for a picnic to celebrate the New Year, where their
boat triped and sank down on hitting a rock. |
