Mandi: One more body of a student of a Hyderabad engineering college was traced by rescue workers on Wednesday scouring the Beas river in Mandi, taking the deaths in the tragedy to six.
A massive search operation continued for the third day to locate the remaining 18 of the 24 students and a tour operator who went missing in the flash-flood after water was released into the river without a warning from a nearby hydropower project, officials said.
They said chances of recovering any survivor of the tragedy that struck on Sunday evening were bleak.
The latest body was recovered near Hanogi Mata temple, located near the accident site, an official said.
The victim has been identified as Shabir Hussain and his mother Aisa Hussain, who was camping here, identified the body. (IANS)
