A 48-year-old tourist from Haryana has gone missing in Uttarakhand's Valley of Flowers, prompting an intensive search operation by forest officials, police, and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) teams.
Search teams have been combing the area continuously and have deployed two drones to scan difficult and inaccessible stretches of the valley.
Despite extensive efforts, no trace of the missing tourist has been found so far, and authorities are exploring the possibility that he may have exited the park through a different route.
The search operation is being hindered by deteriorating weather conditions in the high-altitude region, but rescue teams continue to navigate difficult mountainous terrain and are exploring every possible lead to ascertain the tourist's whereabouts.
Chamoli police have issued an advisory for trekkers and adventure enthusiasts visiting the district, urging visitors to share their travel itineraries and contact details with local police before undertaking trekking expeditions.
