Assam Forest Team Missing Near Nagaland Border Found Safe After Two-Day Search
A 26-member Assam forest team, including 23 officials and three guides, went missing for nearly two days during a patrol in remote forests along the Dima Hasao-Karbi Anglong-Nagaland border due to poor mobile connectivity. After extensive search operations involving forest personnel, police, district administration, drones, and senior Indian Forest Service officers, the team was safely traced and underwent medical checks. Officials noted the challenging terrain and communication difficulties, with the team unintentionally crossing into Nagaland while trying to return.
