Uttarkashi authorities will invite concerns from the family of Sachin Ponia, a 24-year-old Agniveer missing since August 2025 flash floods. His family claims he was declared dead without conclusive evidence. The Hathras district administration, following a communication from Uttarkashi, issued a proclamation order inviting public objections to the presumed death declaration. Police and a magisterial inquiry found no trace of Ponia despite extensive efforts.
