Hello
More than 10 days have gone by since Arjun, hailing from Kozhikode, went missing in the landslide at Shirur village in Karnataka and his whereabouts are yet to be ascertained.
Defence PRO Athul Pillai said that divers were unable to search the deep waters due to strong currents.
Kerala ministers Mohammed Riyas and A K Saseendran will reach the site by noon.
Local MLA Satish Sail has accused Kerala 'people' of delaying the search operation in the river.
Advanced Intelligent Underground Buried Object Detection-based drone was used to detect the truck trapped under the Gangavali River.
The surveillance using drone will help the rescuers to assess the truck's exact position including its depth from the surface of the river.
On Wednesday, search operations confirmed that the truck driven by Arjun, a native of Kannadikkal in Kozhikode, is trapped on the riverbed of the Gangavali River.
The remarks made during the press conference were edited and disseminated.
Incidentally, several reports had earlier claimed that the GPS was active and the engine of the truck was running for two days after the accident.
The truck is located approximately 20 meters from the riverbank and five meters underwater.
