Jajarkot, July 22 – Three people have gone missing after a tipper truck plunged into the Bheri River last night.
The truck (registration no. Ra 1 Kha 1501), operated by Yeti Builders and involved in the construction of the Bheri Corridor, was en route from Dalli in Nalgad Municipality, Jajarkot to Rimna when it veered off and fell into the river at Pipalchaur, Athbiskot-14, Rukum West.
According to Sub-Inspector Shiu Kumar Chaudhary of the Area Police Office, Rimna, there were three people on board, including the driver. Their whereabouts are currently unknown.
Police teams from Rukum West and Jajarkot have been mobilized for the search operation. However, Chaudhary stated that the high water level in the Bheri River is hampering the search efforts.
