ITANAGAR: The Army, in coordination with the police and the civil administration, on Friday successfully retrieved two tourists from the frozen Sela Lake in Arunachal Pradesh, one of whom was found dead, while search operations are underway to locate a third missing individual, officials said.
Defence spokesman Lt Col Mahendra Rawat said that on Friday, an unfortunate incident occurred at Sela Lake in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang district, located at an altitude of approximately 13,700 feet above mean sea level, involving a group of seven tourists.
He said that during their visit, one tourist reportedly moved towards the centre of the frozen lake, where the ice gave way, resulting in the individual being submerged. Another two tourists attempted a rescue, but they were also submerged in the freezing waters, he added.
