11 More Bodies Retrieved from Arunachal Accident Site

PTI, ITANAGAR, DEC 13, 2025: Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck, on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling, fell, an official said. With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said. He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.

The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am. "The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said. The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said. "One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.

The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted. Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
