Itanagar: Indian Army soldiers pulled a body from a 250-metre gorge on November 12. The recovery happened near Lower Tato in the Shi-Yomi district of Arunachal Pradesh. The victim fell near the Siyom River following a road accident.
Troops from the Spear Corps led the operation. Steep gradients and limited access made the site difficult to reach. Dangerous conditions defined the mission. The Army stated that its troops assisted as part of their support to civil authorities and the local population during emergencies.
The unit navigated the hazardous terrain to ensure the remains were retrieved with dignity. The Spear Corps released a statement saying it "reaffirmed its commitment to assisting people in Arunachal Pradesh during difficult situations." Despite the depth of the gorge and the risk, the team completed the recovery.
