Man Swept Away Crossing Swollen Jaldhaka River During Flash Flood

Arun Santal was crossing a river with some other people and cattle.

The river was swollen because of heavy rain and a flash flood.

He slipped and fell into the fast-moving water.

His companions tried to help him, but the current was too strong.

He disappeared from sight very quickly.

Police and rescue workers came to search for him.

He had not been found by Friday afternoon.

Officials had warned people not to cross rivers when the water is high.

They said rivers in the Dooars can rise quickly during the monsoon.
