The remains of 60-year-old Maneswar Rajbongshi, who was trapped beneath the debris after a massive landslide in Guwahati’s Rupnagar area, was recovered on Saturday, June 7.
Rajbongshi’s body was found after 17 hours of tireless search and rescue efforts conducted by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team. The individual was allegedly extracted by a JCB from under a guard wall.
On Friday night, Rajbongshi went outside to investigate an unusual noise coming from behind his house when a landslide occurred, trapping him beneath the mud and debris. A boulder, almost 30 feet tall, tumbled down the hillside, violently colliding with two homes.
