Three youths go missing in Sai River during Ganpati immersion at Sisendi in Mohanlalganj

A Ganesh idol immersion ceremony was underway in the Sisendi village of the Mohanlalganj region on Tuesday evening. During the event, three friends entered the Sai River to bathe before completing the immersion rituals. According to reports from Amar Ujala, the youths were swept away by the strong current as they moved into deeper water and subsequently went missing.

Following the incident, panic spread among the devotees and onlookers at the riverbank. People present at the scene immediately attempted to rescue the youths, but their efforts were unsuccessful. Due to the high water level and the intensity of the river flow, they were unable to reach the victims in time.

Local residents promptly alerted the police and district administration about the accident. Upon receiving the information, police personnel and rescue teams arrived at the site. Officials assessed the situation and initiated a search operation to locate the missing youths.

As per the Amar Ujala report, the administration has deployed divers to assist in the search efforts within the river. The rescue operation continued despite the onset of darkness. A large number of villagers and family members have gathered at the site, anxiously waiting for news regarding their loved ones.

This unfortunate event has cast a shadow of grief over the entire area. The tragedy transformed the festive spirit of the immersion ceremony into mourning. The administration has implemented strict security measures along the riverbanks to manage the crowd and prevent further accidents.

Officials stated that the rescue team is working with full dedication. While the depth and current of the river pose significant challenges to the search mission, the administration remains committed to exhausting all efforts to recover the missing youths.

Currently, police have secured the banks of the Sai River near Sisendi village. The authorities have issued an appeal to the public to avoid entering deep waters. The families of the missing youths are devastated, and a somber atmosphere prevails throughout the village.
