The bodies of two missing tourists were recovered this afternoon from Rupsi Jharna, a waterfall in Mirsarai, Chattogram.
A search and rescue team from the Mirsarai Fire Service and Civil Defence retrieved the bodies around 1pm, said Imam Hossain Patwari, the station officer. The tourists’ identities have yet to be confirmed.
According to eyewitnesses, the two individuals had been visiting the waterfall but tragically drowned, prompting a rescue operation by the fire service.
Imam stated that the diving team began their search at approximately 11am, after receiving the report of the missing tourists. The bodies were recovered two hours later.
This incident comes just days after another tragedy on September 27, when a bank official died after being struck by a falling stone at the nearby Khaiyachara Jharna.
