Shirur: The mission to find Arjun, a native of Kozhikode, who went missing in a landslide, is at a critical stage. Navy divers went into the river to find Arjun. But due to the strong current, they could not go down to the bottom of the river.
The possibility of raising the lorry is being investigated. Divers approached the lorry twice but were unable to examine the cabin. A 15-member team in three boats is in the river to check the current. If the time is right, they will move to the bottom of the river.
Twice he tried to land the drone in the water but was unsuccessful due to the strong current. A drone-powered scanner can also pick up the underwater signal. The drone was brought from Noida with the special permission of the Centre.
The action took place after the heavy rain that had been falling since morning subsided. Steps are in progress to speed up soil conversion.
