Two men are reported missing after their car veered off the road and plunged into the Mochhu River on Saturday at Tap-Shangnyey in Khamaed Gewog, Gasa.
According to the officials, the duo in their age of 22 and 47 were both working in one of the private constructions in Gasa and was heading towards Punakha while the incident occurred. The rescue team comprising of dzongkhag officials, Desuups, Police and locals carried out the search since Saturday night, but could not find a trace of them so far.
It is reported that the vehicle went off the road and directly plunged into the river from a height of almost 300 meters. Since the incident place is on a steep cliff with a fast-flowing river below, the search team could not get into the river. The cause of the accident is yet to be ascertained.
