Authorities have not disclosed the circumstances leading up to the incident, and the exact sequence of events remains under investigation.
NDRF Launches Extensive Search Operation
Following the emergency alert, the National Disaster Response Force joined the operation with trained divers and rescue personnel. Teams have been conducting an extensive search across different sections of the river in an effort to locate the missing man.
NDRF Inspector Praful Kumar said the force received information from the control room during the early hours of Monday and immediately activated its response unit. According to him, local police informed the agency about the incident before the rescue teams were dispatched from the Dwarka battalion.
Rescue personnel reached the site within a short time and began coordinated operations alongside the Delhi Fire Services. Divers have continued scanning the river from multiple directions using specialized search techniques.
