Missing trio identified as Altaf Ahmad Mir son of Bashir Ahmad Mir, Bashir Ahmad Ganie son of Ghulam Rasool Ganie and Ghulam Mohd Lone son of Ali Mohd Lone all residents of Warnow, Lolab. The rescuers had suspended the operation overnight and have been resumed early Monday morning as there was heavy snow in the area which hampers the rescue operation in the area. The SDRF team is assisted by 27 and 80 Rashtriya Rifles (RR) of India Army and they are on job and all efforts are on to trace those three persons who had gone for hunting when they were swept away by mudslide, sources added.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
