Boat capsize: Body of a youth recovered, 2 still missing in Baramulla

Baramulla: Body of one of the three youth, who drowned after a boat capsized in Jhelum in north Kashmir district of Baramulla on Wednesday, was fished out from the river on Thursday.
Official sources told UNI that body of one of the three youth, Tufail Ahmad Shagoo, was recovered from the river on Thursdaymorning.
However, efforts are on to trace the bodies of the remaining two youth, who also drowned on Wednesday. “We have pressed into service the MARCOS besides men from SDRF, police and locals for rescue operation but there was no trace of the two youth who drowned,” they said.
The locals and relatives of the youth alleged that rescue teams are conducting searches on their boats without making effort to go inside the river.
Five youth drowned after a boat they were riding in capsized in the river at Dewan Bagh, in this north Kashmir town on Wednesday. However, people present in the area immediately jumped into the river and saved two youth.
But, Tufail and two other youth, identified as Anzar Wani and Shaid Ahmad Shah, all local residents, could not be saved.
Sources said this morning the operation was launched again to recover the bodies of the youth.  The operation was suspended last night due to darkness. MARCOS and SDRF personnel are conducting massive searches in the river.
As the water of river Jhelum finally enters Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) enough measures are already there that nobody flow across the Line of Control (LoC), they added.
