Beas river tragedy: Another body recovered; 11 still missing

Another body of a student was found on Friday, thirteen days after 25 persons, including 24 students from a Hyderabad engineering college, were swept away in the river. The deceased has been identified as Sairaj of AS Rao Nagar in Hyderabad.

Search operations are still on as only 13 bodies have been found so far. On Thursday, three bodies were recovered. The three deceased students were identified as Shiva Prakash Varma, Ashish Mantha and Machrala Akhil, Deputy Commissioner Devesh Kumar said.

Earlier on Wednesday, one body was recovered. The deceased had been identified as P Venkata Durga Tarun, Mandi SP, R S Negi said.

The swollen body floating in the river was spotted by rescue team members, who fished it out of the river. “The swollen body surfaced near the Pandoh dam, about 12 km downstream Beas from the accident spot,” Jaideep Singh, commanding officer of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), said. “More bodies, which are in the process of bloating are likely to surface in next two or three days,” he said.
