The search for Arjun, a resident of the South Indian state of Kerala who went missing after the landslide in Uttara Kannada, has reached a crucial phase.
On Thursday morning, the mission will enter its 10th day, with soil removal activities set to begin at 8 am. Arjun’s Bharat Benz lorry has been located in the Gangavali River.
The first priority is to confirm whether Arjun is inside the lorry.
According to Narayana, a top police official, the truck is lying upside down in the river, approximately 15 meters deep and 20 meters from the shore.
The initial task is to clear any soil that has accumulated on top of the vehicle. With the addition of a second large machine to help move the soil, the work is expected to proceed more quickly.
If weather conditions are favorable, the mission may start earlier, at 7 am. A team of Navy divers will also be involved in the operation on Thursday.
The challenge for the divers will be navigating the murky and muddy riverbed. Once the earthmoving machines have cleared the soil, the divers will enter the river.
