Six Days Later: Massive Search for Missing Boy in Bahraich Saryu River
Six days after Yuvraj went missing in the Saryu River, NDRF teams continue intensive search operations in Bahraich.
The search for 11-year-old Yuvraj, affectionately known as Shaurya, has entered its sixth consecutive day with no sign of the child. The boy went missing in the turbulent waters of the Saryu River at Jhingha Ghat in Bahraich, leaving his family and the local community in a state of profound grief and uncertainty.
NDRF Teams Lead Intensive River Search
As the days pass without a trace, the scale of the operation has intensified. A specialized 30-member team from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), deployed from Varanasi, is currently spearheading the mission. Under the direction of Inspector Deepak Kumar, the rescuers are navigating the difficult river terrain to locate the young boy.
The involvement of the NDRF comes after initial attempts by local divers and police personnel proved unsuccessful in the face of the river's depth and currents.
How the Tragedy Unfolded
The incident occurred on a Friday afternoon in the Kotwali area. According to reports, Yuvraj, the son of Arjun Bajpayee from the Vashiriganj neighborhood, had gone to Jhingha Ghat accompanied by two other teenagers.
- Time of Incident: Approximately 2:00 PM on Friday.
- Location: Jhingha Ghat, Saryu River, Bahraich.
- Circumstances: The boy reportedly entered the river and subsequently disappeared into deep water.
Following the immediate disappearance, the Nagar Kotwali and Ramgaon police were on the scene, working alongside local divers to scan the area. However, the depth of the river proved to be a significant obstacle to finding the child quickly.
A Family in Deep Distress
While the rescue teams continue their grueling work against the elements, the atmosphere in the Vashiriganj neighborhood remains heavy. The family of Arjun Bajpayee is living through a nightmare, waiting anxiously for any news that might bring closure or a miracle. Every hour that passes without a sighting adds to the mounting tension and heartbreak felt by the boy's loved ones.
