Shillong, June 6: Despite efforts by multiple rescue teams, the search for Sonam Raghuvanshi, missing since May 25, has yielded no breakthrough on Friday.
The operation, which marked the 13th day of the ongoing search, was eventually called off due to poor visibility owing to heavy fog and mist in the evening and will resume on Saturday.
The search team, led by SDPO of Sohra Civil Sub-Division Pynhun Syiem and DSP (Operations), focused its efforts around Wei Sawdong Falls—where the body of Sonam’s husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, was recovered earlier this week.
The joint team comprised personnel from the NDRF, SDRF, SRT, Fire and Emergency Services (FES), Special Operations Team (SOT), Special Investigation Team (SIT), and local volunteers.
Till date, no trace of the missing Sonam has been found, but authorities recovered a raincoat near Mawkma, about 9.8 km from Wei Sawdong, on Wednesday.
While it is suspected to belong to Sonam, no official confirmation has been issued yet.
The search will continue on Saturday, with teams hoping to find more definitive leads.
