The Jharkhand Police have initiated an extensive search operation to locate a group of missing tourists who were last seen in the scenic areas of the state. The operation has mobilized several units of the police, including search and rescue teams, as well as volunteers from local communities, in an effort to find the missing tourists and ensure their safety.
Incident Overview
The group of tourists, consisting of several individuals from different parts of the country, was last seen visiting popular tourist destinations in Jharkhand, including the Betla National Park and the scenic town of Netarhat. Authorities were alerted after the group failed to return to their designated accommodation and their phones went unanswered.
According to reports, the missing tourists were traveling through some of the state’s more remote and rugged terrains, which are known for their natural beauty but also pose risks due to dense forests, steep hills, and unpredictable weather conditions.
The Search Operation
The Jharkhand Police, in coordination with the local administration and emergency services, have deployed specialized teams to locate the missing tourists. These teams consist of police personnel, trained trackers, and volunteers from local communities who are familiar with the terrain.
Search efforts have been focused on areas where the tourists were last seen and where mobile signal strength was available. Given the challenging terrain, the police have also enlisted the help of drones to provide aerial support and map out the areas that need further inspection.
The police are conducting ground searches, combing through forests, hills, and water bodies where the tourists could have wandered off or gotten lost. In addition, checkpoints have been set up along major roads to gather any information from passersby or locals who may have seen the group.
