GANGTOK, 05 Jan: It is nine days now since a student from Kolkata went missing from the Dzongri-Goechala trekking trail at the Bakhim forest. Given the difficult terrain and the extreme weather conditions, hope for good news has all but faded in this instance. That said, the search & rescue operations continue, with the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) deploying a search party this morning to Dzongri, West Sikkim. This, the SSB officials hint, could be the ‘final push’ for the search and rescue operation.
23-year-old Biswadeep Sarkar who originally hails from Jharkhand went missing on 27 December and has still not been found even after rigorous search operations launched by the West district Police, locals of the area and forest department personnel.
