Assam Boat Tragedy: Search operations are still on for at least 100 people who have gone missing after a packed steamer carrying over 300 passengers sank in the Brahmaputra river in Assam on Monday after being caught in a severe storm. According to local sources, as of now 100 bodies have been recovered but with the boat being over packed, and it remaining toppled in the water, authorities are finding it difficult to ascertain the number of people that may be still trapped under it.
Muddy waters, bad weather and strong currents have hampered search for survivors this morning. The Army has rushed in two infantry columns, two engineer task forces with six boats, 12 divers and medical teams to assist in the rescue operations. Besides the Army, BSF's water wing, National Disaster Force and police armed with mechanised boats are engaged in a massive rescue operation in the river.
