In Bhubaneswar, a young man has been missing for four days after falling into a water body at the Tapang stone quarry in Khurda district. A team from NIT Rourkela has been using a special robot in the rescue operation since Thursday.
The incident occurred at Bada Saunlia, under the jurisdiction of Tapang police, when the youth slipped and fell into the water. He was there with three other students from a nearby educational institute, who had gone to the Tapang Green Lake to film a video. His friend, Om Prakash Rath, bravely tried to save him by jumping in after him, but unfortunately, he too went missing.
The authorities immediately sprang into action, with the fire services bringing in an advanced waterproof camera and enlisting the help of the Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force and the National Disaster Rapid Action Force. Despite their best efforts, Om Prakash could not be found. However, they have now turned to the robot from NIT Rourkela for assistance.
According to an official from NIT, the stone quarry is extremely deep, about 100 feet, and they are thoroughly scanning every inch of the area. It should be noted that the Khurda district administration has declared Nijigarh Tapang as a prohibited area, urging people to stay away due to the presence of undetonated dynamites that could be hazardous to life.
