The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has intensified search and rescue operations in Arunachal Pradesh's Keyi Panyor district to locate three persons missing after a flash flood on June 24.
Five people had gone missing in the incident, and authorities have so far recovered two bodies. The NDRF has deployed specialised equipment, dog squads, and boats for the search operation.
Deputy Commandant Anand Patel of the 12th Battalion of the NDRF said the team arrived yesterday and is conducting search operations using specialised gear and canines.
Additional NDRF teams equipped with specialised gear are expected to join the operation, which is likely to be intensified by Saturday evening.
The rescue teams are facing challenges due to the hilly terrain, accumulated debris, and changing weather conditions.
