Harangajao Dima Hasao (Assam) [India], November 9 (HBTV): In a swift humanitarian response, Assam Rifles extended crucial assistance in locating missing students from NIT Silchar, who reportedly disappeared near the Bahkol Waterfall in Lower Boulsol, Harangajao.
A special team of Assam Rifles was immediately dispatched to the site on Saturday to support the search operation alongside the Assam Police and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF).
‘Upon receiving the information, a special team of Assam Rifles immediately mobilised to the site to carry out the search operation along with the Assam Police and the State Disaster Response Force.

Despite challenging terrain and strong water currents, Assam Rifles continued to operate in close coordination with district authorities, extending all possible assistance and support until the completion of the search operation,’ said a press release.
This prompt action underscores Assam Rifles’ commitment to humanitarian assistance and public service, reflecting its ethos of ‘Sentinels of the North East’.
