Tinsukia, July 25: Four teenage students were swept away by the strong currents of the Kundil river.
The tragedy occurred after the students, having finished their classes, decided to bathe in the river. Villagers later recovered the bodies of Amrit Chetry (15) and Bhaskar Bhattarai (15), while the search continues for Vivek Chetry (15) and Ram Chetry (15), who remain missing.
The State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) has initiated a search operation to locate the missing youths.
“We, a group of six friends, planned to have some light refreshments by the river. One of our friends suggested a bath in the Kundil River. While two of us stayed back, the other four went into the water and never returned,” a surviving youth recounted.
He added, “We informed our parents, who then alerted the villagers. A search operation was launched, and two bodies were recovered from the river.”
