Authorities in Kakinada district are intensifying the search for two-year-old Sunkara Gnaneswari, who went missing on June 6 in a palm oil plantation at Ch. Agraharam village, Tuni mandal. A pet dog that accompanied her and was used in search efforts died under suspicious circumstances, with its post-mortem samples sent for forensic analysis. Over 400 personnel, including 30 from the National Disaster Response Force and teams from the State Disaster Response Force and Forest Department, are involved in ground and aerial searches covering a 10-kilometre radius, supported by CCTV footage review and drone surveillance.
