The Story in Brief
Advaith, a 31-year-old finance employee from Indore living in Bengaluru, went missing while trekking at Shivagange hill on Friday. CCTV footage shows him ascending, but there is no trace of his descent, and his phone is switched off. Police and search teams resumed operations on Sunday, scouring steep rock faces and dense vegetation near Shantala Drop with drones, but have found nothing yet. A senior officer from Dobbspet police station said the search continues.
The Indian Opinion
This is another case of a lone trekker vanishing on a popular hill, reviving lazy narratives about 'reckless youth' ignoring safety. But the fact is better signage, mobile connectivity, and emergency response plans at tourist spots are basic duties the government has neglected for years. If Advaith carried no GPS or informant, that is a personal lapse. Yet the real test is whether authorities will now install check-in booths and rescue gear at Shivagange, not just send drones for a day.
