The body of 18-year-old Danish Bilal, a resident of Illahibagh, Srinagar, was recovered from Nallah Sindh in the Kangan area of Ganderbal district on Saturday after a two-day joint search operation. The youth had reportedly slipped and was swept away by fast currents while bathing near Kijpara Kangan on Friday. Rescue teams from the J&K Police, State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) units from Ganderbal and Gund, and local volunteers conducted the operation. The body was found near the Preng area. Officials said that after completing medico-legal formalities, the body will be handed over to the family for last rites. The local police have registered a case regarding the incident. Local administration has issued advisories urging caution near fast-flowing water bodies like Nallah Sindh, especially during summer when water levels and currents remain unpredictable.
