The body of a 45-year-old man, identified as John Ch Marak, was fished out from near the Pelga Wari (Pelga Falls) today morning.
Marak had apparently gone fishing and was reported missing on April 13 from near the water body on the Ganol River. He was a resident of the Balading locality of Tura.
A search was launched after he was reported missing by his family. Despite the efforts of the Fire and Emergency Services and the State Disaster Response Force, Marak could not be found.
However, early this morning, his body was located between Banseng Wari and Do Mesai, around 2 kilometres from Pelga Falls.
Necessary legal formalities were later completed before the body was handed over to the family members this evening.
